About this ebook

The Dogfather – A New Contemporary Romance Series from Roxanne St. Claire

The Dogfather isn’t just one man…it’s a brand new contemporary romance series from New York Times bestselling author Roxanne St. Claire celebrating what she loves most: hot guys, great dogs, big families…and true love. And a portion of the proceeds from every book in the series will be donated to the Alaqua Animal Refuge in the author’s home state of Florida!

Daniel Kilcannon is known as  “The Dogfather” for a reason.   It’s not just his renowned skills as a veterinarian, his tremendous love of dogs, or the fact that he has turned his homestead in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains into a world class dog training and rescue facility. Ask his six grown children who run Waterford Farm for him, and they’ll tell you that their father’s nickname is due to his uncanny ability to pull a few strings to get what he wants. And what he wants is for his four sons and two daughters to find the kind of life-changing love he had with his dearly departed wife, Annie.  This old dog has a few new tricks…and he’ll use them all to see his pack all settled into their happily ever afters!

Leader of the Pack – Book Three

Former marine dog trainer and behaviorist Liam Kilcannon is the strong, silent type who never shows emotions when he’s working with law enforcement to train the most skilled K-9 units in the country. But all that stoicism falls apart when he’s around the one woman he wants but can’t seem to get near.

Architect Andi Rivers has a secret and not even the sexiest man in Bitter Bark can get her to reveal it. But when her past gets close enough to threaten her very life, she is forced to get help from Liam – and his four-legged secret weapon – who can protect her. Can Liam and his best friend keep Andi safe and finally win her love?

Watch for the whole series coming in 2017 and 2018!

Ratings and reviews

Entertaining, exciting, action packed, sweetly sexy second chance romance with a small twist of mystery. Loved all the family banding together to help protect and stop the danger. K-9 trainer Liam Kilcannon is the quiet, strong, driven and emotionally hidden alpha make type. His family jokes he loves dogs more than people. Architect and single mom Andi Rivers is sweet, sassy and in need of protection for her 6 year old son from a greedy family member that wants to take him for the inheritance. She is also the only woman Liam thought once upon a time was his one true love until she broke his heart years ago leaving him for the father of her son. Perfectly engaging and captivating reading.

LOVED this story! The characters were so wonderful and seeing Liam and Andi get their second chance was amazing. Liam is just wonderful. Quiet, a bit introverted, totally dedicated. Andi is just as dedicated to her young son. Liam and Andi had dated before when her son's father came back to town and Andi decided she needed to give him a chance. Now Liam has a second chance and nothing is going to stop him from getting the life he's always wanted. A beautiful story and one you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.

Jag and Liam are a match made in heaven. Fierce, loyal and irresistible. Protection is embedded deep and when they spot danger, it's full throttle time. I was a goner the minute I saw this dynamic duo in action. Their connection is uncanny, but their love for each other is unbreakable. Sort of like Liam's desire for the woman that stole his heart and walked away. Andi is his biggest regret and his greatest fear. She holds the key to his happiness, but she also is the one woman that can break his heart. Will he risk the challenge to protect the woman he loves? With Leader of the Pack, Ms. St. Claire set out to deliver that warm fuzzy feeling that is hard to describe and impossible to resist. Instant success.
