Love and Pawprints

By Vivian Lace

A cozy, slow burn Omegaverse romance

Vanessa Hart didn't plan on coming home broken. After dropping out of college to escape a traumatic encounter with a predatory Alpha, all she wants is somewhere soft to land. The Silverhaven Inn--her mother's warm, herb-scented refuge tucked in a sleepy mountain town--offers just that.

What she doesn't expect is Ethan: a quiet, soft-spoken veterinarian whose steady presence calms her frayed nerves ... and whose scent silences the panic clawing at her chest. He doesn't push. Doesn't crowd. And the big, gentle Newfoundland at his side? He's already claimed Vanessa as his own.

When a trip to the shelter turns into long walks, slow smiles, and scent-safe spaces, Vanessa finds herself falling in love with more than just the adorable dog.

Ethan isn't like the Alphas she's known. He waits. He listens. And when Vanessa asks if he'll stay?

He simply says, "Only if you want me to."
