Rich Bitch: Everything’s Going to the Dogs
Vince Grange is a tough-assed labor negotiator in New York who's famous for being tough but fair. His nickname is Bulldog. He enjoys his work, his easy bachelor existence and his lack of ties. When his rich great aunt Marjorie dies to everyone's surprise she wills her spoiled French toy poodle to Vince. To the dog she wills the bulk of her large fortune. All Vince has to do is keep Mimi happy and healthy and when the pooch dies of old age, Vince will get the cash. Vince is not thrilled with the arrangement. Neither is Mimi, the poodle who only understands French (or pretends to). How can he keep up his bulldog reputation if he's seen walking a powderpuff on legs with a real diamond collar and pink-painted toenails! He can't do it!
When the most gorgeous woman he's ever seen corrects his French — a woman who turns out to be a nanny, he decides that what Mimi needs is the world's most gorgeous nanny.
Sophie Veneau is more than happy to take on the job of escorting Mimi to the salon and preparing gourmet meals for Mimi's finicky palate. She's less happy about the wild attraction she feels to Mimi's big, sexy owner.
When she and the French poodle are nearly mugged in the park, a large homeless black dog, ferocious and determined, comes to their aid. And follows them home. Soon, to Vince's horror, his one man household has increased to four.
And somebody's out to hurt Sophie.
In this romantic comedy about a rich dog and a poor dog, a big American man and a petite Frenchwoman, nothing is quite what it seems. Family drama, mystery, comedy and some hot, sexy nights mean that life will never be the same for this collection of opposites.

Love to Go (Take a Chance Book 5)
When every woman wants him, how can she believe that he loves her?
Marguerite Chance is an organic farmer in the idyllic town of Hidden Falls, Oregon. She’s as rooted as her heirloom tomatoes, but when food truck owner Alexei Vasilopoulos rolls into town, looking more like Adonis than a real human being, she fights her attraction. No man who looks like Adonis could ever be interested in a plain woman who digs in dirt all day; she’s been burned once before by a man who thought his good looks gave him a permanent hall pass for bad behavior.
Alexei has been propositioned by everyone from modelling scouts to older woman who should know better for most of his life. He didn’t ask for his face, and mostly he’s used to fending off women, but there’s something about Marguerite Chance that appeals to him on every level. Trouble is, she doesn’t want anything to do with him. Alex has so little experience in actually wooing a woman, that he’s not sure how. Good thing he’s got not only his own Greek family giving him advice, but also the large Chance clan.
This is book 5 in the Take a Chance series of romantic comedies, but each book can be read separately. Fall in love along with Marguerite and Alex.
