Cassie

This is the story of Cassie: a rescue dog who was just over two years old when she joined Brian and Juliet's family of rescues, having already had three previous owners in her short life. The tiny little terrier soon wormed her way into the hearts of the family, and her antics and oversized attitude quickly earned her the nicknames 'The Mad Ferret' and 'The Wicked Witch of the West.' Cassie can best be described as a 'pocket dynamo' or, as the author puts it, "She is filled with boundless energy, and despite being fourteen years old now, she's like a Duracell bunny without an off switch." Cassie has bounced back from operations, managed to get lost and found in one afternoon, chased away Rottweilers and Dobermans that have had the nerve to try and steal her tennis ball, and found herself being injured by interfering in larger dogs' squabbles. People just can't help falling in love with this tiny bundle of joy. Cassie's Tale is the third book in Brian L. Porter's series of rescue dogs, following on from the award-winning bestsellers, Sasha and Sheba: From Hell to Happiness.

One night of regret and a simple lack of communication leads to two miserable years apart. What will happen when the two broken-hearted are forced to reunite? One night has haunted Cassie for over two years. After agreeing to something she didn't feel sure about, all for the sake of a man—or more correctly, her fear of losing him, she is still consumed with thoughts of her past. Although a few years younger than her Riley Walters was all man, in and out of the bedroom. So much so that Cassie believed he would tire of her sexual inexperience quickly. For him she was just a bit of fun—he never said anything to her to make her doubt that assumption. The reason she put herself in such an uncomfortable situation in the first place—to keep him happy. Of course it didn't help. Riley disappeared from her life and never had anything to do with her again. Now he's back, part of her social circle, leaving Cassie to find a way to deal with the attraction she still feels for him even after two years of trying to convince herself otherwise. Riley was horrified at how much rage he felt that night. Memories of a trauma from childhood quickly surfaced—he was terrified that he was becoming a monster, just like the man from his memory. Cassandra Davies filled his mind, his every thought, his obsession. Now he's been offered a position at the Jets Rugby League Club, an opportunity to work alongside the people he called family, something he'd always dreamed of—but how will he survive being around Cassie if he can't drag her into his arms, back to his bed and never let her leave?
