Can a feisty four-legged matchmaker help four best friends find the romance of their dreams?
When a handsome man from Gabby’s past agrees to a cross-country road trip, her master plan to re-launch her art career quickly morphs into an unexpected, romantic reunion.
Marney’s 9-1-1 emergency help arrives in the form of a rugged, blue-eyed cop. Now she has the perfect bodyguard to keep her safe during those dark, steamy nights…
The last thing Mia wants is a relationship…yet the headstrong florist can’t keep her hands off her sexy-as-sin ex-boyfriend. Will she open her heart before he leaves town for good?
Jenny is a woman on a mission – she’ll even resort to dognapping to make her point! But can she teach a reclusive, emotionally-wounded tycoon that love heals all things?
Excerpt:
All these years, he’d left that one story incomplete, a loose end that threaded through his thoughts. Had he missed his chance with her years before because he hadn’t taken a big enough risk? If he tried again with Gabby, would the results be different this time? There was only one way to know.
"I'd love to hitch a ride with you. It'll be just like old times," he said, taking a step closer, and thinking that was the last thing he wanted was old times and the way things used to be, "you and me together, walking on the wild side."
She raised her chin and met his gaze. "I don't do that anymore. I'm a respectable tax-paying citizen now."
"Pity," he said, while the urge to kiss her and be with her, to be part of her world again, raged inside him, "because you being rebellious was the highlight of my days.”
A smile curved up one side of her face, a smile that told T.J. there was still hope, still a connection, and maybe a little of the old Gabby left after all. “Well, I’d hate to disappoint you, but I’m not planning on ending up in jail on this trip.”
“That’s okay,” he said, meeting her deep green eyes with his own. “Neither do I. I told you, Gabby. I’ve changed.”
She gave him a long, assessing gaze. “That remains to be seen.”
T.J. figured he had hundreds of miles to change her mind about him, and to make up for letting her down in the past. He could only hope they didn’t run out of road before he could make everything right again.

About Barbara Wallace:
Barbara Wallace has been a life-long romantic and daydreamer so it’s not surprising she decided to become a writer at age eight. However, it wasn’t until a co-worker handed her a romance novel that she knew where her stories belonged. Her first Harlequin Romance debuted in November 2010.
Barbara loves writing sweet, smart, ‘it-could-happen-to-you’ style romances. She lives in Massachusetts with her other loves – her husband, their teenage son, and three very spoiled pets (as if there could be any other kind). She also loves hearing from readers.

Thank you for hosting
thank you for the opportunity to win :)
Thanks for having us here today. Let the fun begin! :-)
Thanks for your comments. It's a pleasure to be here! We had a great time writing about Charlie and the matches he makes. Not only did we get to write about a fun dog, but the heroines in these stories were strong, fun women. And the romances...romances are always fun.
It was a great experience for us as authors and we think readers will love the stories too. I see everybody getting a cup of cocoa and just having a relaxing, fun-filled afternoon of romance and puppy love. LOL

This sounds like such a fun story. I loved the excerpt.
Thank you all! We're all thrilled to be featured on the blog! We love the cover, too. All the credit goes to Entangled :-)
I love a good romance!! My boyfriend has a limp now from torn ankle tendons and I told him that it was sexy. He said that was weird to think a limp was attractive but I told him that he had never read a romance book. Authors and readers alike want tragic and flawed men. He now thinks all women are crazy, lol. I still think it's sexy;)
Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
Thanks for the giveaway chance! This book looks great! Can't wait to read it!
Oh Cindy! I'm sorry for your boyfriend's pain...but the limp is sexy. :)
And as Shirley said, the cover credit goes to Entangled's talented staff.

Loving all the great feedback on our book/cover.
Hey, I limp all the time! Nobody ever told ME it was sexy! Sounds like Age discrimination! Oh well, I guess I'll just sit here acting random... you said you'd pick a random commenter, right? I'm about as random as you'll find anywhere. This book intrigues me... thanks for the giveaway.
My hubby also says that I have a shoe addiction! LOL. AND, I don't care for cleaning toilets...although I like a clean toilet, so it's a quandary. The solution? I clean my toilet, but NEVER go near my hubby's.

A dog has always been a great way to meet people.
What an intriguing concept. I wish I knew more about where the dog comes into all the stories!
