Sometimes people need rescuing too.

Keith Steller has devoted his life to saving dogs in need, offering second chances at the Underdogs rescue shelter. As the shelter manager, he’s a pro at healing both physical and emotional wounds. But he wasn’t prepared to feel the same compassion and protectiveness for Ben Cobb, the ruggedly handsome rescue worker with a tough exterior and a mysterious past.

Ben’s latest rescue, a deeply traumatized black lab named Pepper, stirs up painful memories from his own childhood. Moved by her sad eyes and broken spirit, Ben offers to foster Pepper while she heals. As Keith and Ben work together to create a safe space for Pepper in Ben’s apartment, the two men find unexpected comfort in each other’s company.

Over the course of the evening, Ben’s defenses begin to crumble, and he opens up about the long-buried secrets of his past. Keith’s kind words and reassuring touches lead to whispered pleas and hungry kisses, and the two share their hearts as well as their bodies in a night of passion.

From award-wining author Kit Erikson, Doggy Style is a story of resilience, trust, and the healing power of sexual intimacy. Although this steamy hurt/comfort romance novella touches on dark themes, it ends with the promise of happier days ahead – for the heroes as well as the sweet dog who brought them together.
