Puppies, Paperwork & Publicity: A Romantic Comedy: 18

Dr. Mason Reed came to Dalton, Maine for one reason: quiet. A small-town veterinary clinic. A predictable schedule. Zero ribbon cuttings. Absolutely no "WELCOME WAGON" ambushes. Dalton has other plans-starting with a cheery PR guy at his door, a clipboard, and a box of foster puppies that should probably be illegal emotional blackmail. Tyler Kim claims he's here to help Mason "open quietly." Mason is pretty sure that sentence is a threat. Tyler does rescue placements and small-town PR for a living (yes, really), which means he's excellent at two things Mason hates: people, and attention. But Tyler is also unexpectedly steady-careful with Mason's space, respectful of his rules, and determined to keep the town from turning Mason's clinic into a community sport. Between "soft launch" chaos, Maggie McGlynn's matchmaking interference, and one civic-minded golden retriever in a Maple University hoodie, Mason is forced to consider a terrifying possibility: In Dalton, being seen might be safer than being left alone.
