Paws & Promises

When a runaway golden retriever crashes into Maya’s animal rescue, she expects chaos, not destiny. But Pumpkin’s collar leads her straight to Evan, a shy wildlife photographer who’s been secretly caring for the same strays Maya watches over.

Their pets know each other. Their paths have crossed for months. Their hearts just haven’t caught up yet.

As the two spend time untangling Pumpkin’s mischief, sharing stories, and discovering how deeply their quiet acts of kindness have already intertwined their lives, Maya and Evan begin to wonder if love can grow the same way trust does — gently, patiently, and with a bit of help from furry matchmakers.

A cozy Valentine’s romance for animal lovers everywhere, full of wagging tails, soft sparks, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.
