This week I'm reading...
First Chapter...
I try not to lie. Honest. But as I drove my minivan down the curving treelined road on the Longworth Estate, I convinced myself no other tactic would work. Not with the rules that Shawn Cuddahee of the Mercy Animal Sanctuary had told me I must obey during my visit to the owner of this grand mansion.
Teaser...
Shawn rescued small animals, those that were brought to him, dumped on him or found. The cat in question, a lovely long-haired black cat named Isis (according to her tags) had been saved from near-certain death by Shawn himself.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?

I used to love a series she had about a detective who looked into adoptions but I haven't read anything from this series. I really should!
