    New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery welcomes readers back to Fool’s Gold, where a onetime fling could become the real thing.…

    Felicia Swift never dreamed she’d hear a deep, sexy voice from her past in tiny Fool’s Gold, California. The last time Gideon Boylan whispered in her ear was half a world away…on the morning after the hottest night of her life. Her freaky smarts have limited her close friendships, and romance, but she came to Fool’s Gold looking for ordinary. Gorgeous, brooding Gideon is anything but that.

    Black Ops taught Gideon that love could be deadly. Now he pretends to fit in while keeping everyone at arm’s length. Felicia wants more than he can give—a home, family, love—but she has a lot to learn about men…and Gideon needs to be the man to teach her.

    As these two misfits discover that passion isn’t the only thing they have in common, they just might figure out that two of a kind should never be split apart.

    Cat Daddy: What the World's Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and ComingClean Over 500 5-Star Reviews!

    Cat behaviorist and star of Animal Planet’s hit television show My Cat from Hell, Jackson Galaxy, a.k.a. "Cat Daddy," isn’t what you might expect for a cat expert (as The New York Times noted, with his goatee and tattoos, he "looks like a Hells Angel"). Yet Galaxy’s ability to connect with even the most troubled felines — not to mention the stressed-out humans living in their wake — is awe-inspiring. In this book, Galaxy tells the poignant story of his thirteen-year relationship with a petite gray-and-white short-haired cat named Benny, and gives singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving the feline in your home.

    When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with not too much more going on than a part-time job at an animal shelter and a drug problem. Benny’s previous owner brought the cat to the shelter in a cardboard box to give him up. Benny had seen better days — his pelvis had just been shattered by the wheels of a car — and his owner insisted he’d been "unbondable" from day one. Nothing could have been further from the truth…

    An inspiring account of two broken beings who fixed each other, Cat Daddy is laced throughout with Galaxy’s amazing "Cat Mojo" advice for understanding what cats need most from us humans in order to live happier, healthier lives.
