Autopsy of a Fairytale (Autopsy of a Fairytale, #1)

by Nicole Scarano

A heavy weight shifted at the bottom of the mattress, and all seventy pounds of furry muscles heaved onto her chest like a living, weighted blanket. Only once his soft head nuzzled her neck did she relax. She was safe in her bed, not bleeding out on the street, and her arms wrapped around her pitbull. He was her best boy, always sensing her panic and driving it away before replacing it with pure adoration. She breathed in his scent, letting the mix of fur and shampoo ground her, but it wasn’t until his tongue licked the tears from her cheeks that she realized she was crying.

This animal was pure goodness, and she adopted him on the spot.
