What would you do for the love of a pet? Or to win the heart of a skittish paranormal? These five stories by best-selling M/M romance author J.D. Walker will show you what happens when the heart stops at nothing to get what it wants. Contains the stories: All a Steer Can Do Is Try: Clifford Ames is overworked by his boss and desperately needs a change. Temporary escape comes in the form of a wedding invitation he gladly accepts. When Clifford arrives at the resort with his dog, Bambi, he encounters Jetson Briscoe, who turns him inside out. But an emergency business call at the resort has Clifford wondering whether enough is enough, and it's time for a change -- with Jetson. Of Paws and Pet Rocks: Barry Dunning is a lonely pet groomer and painter of rocks. He's been burned badly by an ex-boyfriend who left him with tons of debt. Then Sheldon Svenson, the owner of the animal shelter where Barry volunteers on weekends, asks him out on a date. It ends badly, but Sheldon pursues Barry and convinces him to give them another chance. Maybe this time, they'll get it right. Romancing the Bouncer: Ben Pachowski is a bouncer at Throwbacks. Monty Mabuse, bass player for a popular band that performs there, wants Ben, but he won't do anything but flirt. Monty plays dirty to get in Ben's pants, and it backfires. Having alienated Ben, Monty has to figure out how to make amends. He has his work cut out for him, but a little romance could go a long way. To Catch His Mate: Felix Cotter is an insurance investigator, and a mixed breed shifter. He's hot on the trail of a thief who smells like mate. When Felix comes face to face with white panther shifter Tyler Panterone, the feeling of belonging grows even stronger. Tyler is being forced to steal against his will, and Felix is determined to help him. In fact, he wants to keep him safe and at his side forever. To Love His Mate: Tyler Panterone is worried. Someone from his lover's past has come to call and Tyler is terrified that Felix will be taken away from him. It makes for a tense few days as Thanksgiving Day looms, and then another shifter appears out of the blue. With the kids causing mischief and the house to manage, Tyler is at his wit's end. Will this Thanksgiving bring everyone together or tear them apart?

“He started it,” said Arnie, and the pout he gave me was truly pitiful. Too bad.


“I don’t care who started it,” I replied firmly. “You know better, and now we have a…guest.” I wasn’t ready to say any more on the subject now. But naturally, that didn’t stop the twins.


Two sets of curious eyes zeroed in on Frank, who took their stares in stride. “You look like Poppa,” said Arnie, who elbowed his twin and got an answering nod.


They started in on the questions. “Are you staying? Where’d you come from? Why haven’t you been here before? Does this make you our uncle? Can you shift, too?”
