In The Odd Couple by Lori Foster, Ford Caruso agrees to play the part of new boyfriend for his neighbor Skye Fairchild, whose clueless ex refuses to accept his fate. But as Skye starts dropping by to use Ford's pool, and even plan dates, the charade begins to feel real. In Force of Nature by Maisey Yates, when a mournful old cattle dog named Hank shows up at the shelter, Lydia Clay knows exactly where to take him: to Remington Lane, her brother's best friend. When Lydia offers to help the man ease into dog ownership, he can't say no. And as he and Lydia work together, it looks like an old dog can actually teach this brooding cattleman some heart-warming new tricks.
