A Romance-Comedy Novel
Jade and Ethan met in high school, but life had other plans. When Jade moved to Texas, leaving behind their budding friendship, neither of them thought they'd cross paths again. Four years later, fate (and social media stalking) brings them back together in Miami, where Ethan wastes no time asking her out.
Their relationship starts with a whirlwind of puppy dates-thanks to Buddy, Ethan's overly enthusiastic golden retriever. Along the way, they somehow end up with another dog and a sassy black cat, officially upgrading from "couple" to "chaotic pet parents." Two years later, they take another leap, packing up their lives and moving to Texas together, where love turns into forever.
Marriage, a house hunt, and dreams of a family follow. But life isn't always as picture-perfect as Instagram makes it seem. Three heartbreaking miscarriages test their strength, but through it all, they hold onto each other-through laughter, through late-night talks, and through every tear-filled moment.
When their miracle baby finally arrives, their once quiet home becomes a full house with five pets and a newborn, proving that love isn't about perfection-it's about finding joy in the mess, embracing the unexpected, and never letting go.
A heartwarming mix of romance, comedy, and real-life struggles, Love, Leashes & Late-Night Talks is a story about love in all its forms-messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth it.

Crash course in Love
Jade Rivers is the infamous bad girl on campus-leather jacket, no-filter attitude, and a reputation that follows her like a shadow. Jay Thompson is her complete opposite-smart, polite, organized, and basically a walking golden retriever in a sweater vest... with glasses and soft blond hair that makes half the college swoon. Their worlds literally collide on the first day of college, and from that moment, sparks (and insults) start flying. Things only get worse when their strict professor pairs them together for a semester-long project that counts for half their grade. Jade wants to annoy him. Jay wants to survive her. Too bad fate wants them to fall in love. While Jade challenges every rule Jay lives by, Jay starts seeing past her tough exterior. Between late-night study sessions, accidental touches, jealous moments (thanks to flirty Riley Torres), and meddling friends like bubbly Lila and sarcastic Ethan, their hate slowly melts into something way more dangerous... feelings. But falling in love was never part of the plan. And for two people who swore they'd never catch feelings for each other, this might be their hardest lesson yet.Complete
