She falls at his feet by accident. He falls for her on purpose.Laurel Brook is doing everything she can to hold her life together. She works hard, keeps her head down, and does her best to ignore the ex-husband who still finds new ways to make her feel small. Getting sick is not on the schedule. Admitting she needs help is even lower on the list.Which is why she definitely does not appreciate collapsing into a pyramid of Noodle-Os at the grocery store and straight into the arms of the town’s infuriatingly gorgeous neurosurgeon, Dr Lachlan Cade.Lachlan knows illness when he sees it. He also knows attraction, and Laurel sets off every instinct he has. She is funny. She is exhausted. She is stubborn to the point of self-destruction. He makes her an offer she hates but needs. Come to his home and let him treat her for free, or risk a hospital bill she cannot afford. Laurel wants to refuse. Her body and her pride both argue.Letting Lachlan in means lowering walls she has relied on for years, but the man is relentless in the gentlest way possible. As Laurel begins to trust the pull growing between them, a new threat surfaces, reminding her why she stopped believing anyone could be safe around her in the first place. She can run, or she can finally choose the life she deserves.Love RX kicks off the Love and Other Jobs series with a hot doctor, forced proximity, tender caretaking, and a cinnamon-roll hero who falls first and hard.

A “master class in storytelling and survival.” —Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)Welcome to The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore and Bar. I’m Sam Quinn, the werewolf book nerd in charge. I run my business by one simple rule: Everyone needs a good book and a stiff drink, be they vampire, wicche, demon, or fae. No wolves, though. Ever. I have my reasons.I serve the supernatural community of San Francisco. We’ve been having some problems lately. Okay, I’m the one with the problems. The broken body of a female werewolf washed up on my doorstep. What makes sweat pool at the base of my spine, though, is realizing the scars she bears are identical to the ones I conceal. After hiding for years, I’ve been found.A protection I’ve been relying on is gone. While my wolf traits are strengthening steadily, the loss also left my mind vulnerable to attack. Someone is ensnaring me in horrifying visions intended to kill. Clive, the sexy vampire Master of the City, has figured out how to pull me out, designating himself my personal bodyguard. He’s grumpy about it, but that kiss is telling a different story. A change is taking place. It has to. The bookish bartender must become the fledgling badass.I’m a survivor. I’ll fight fang and claw to protect myself and the ones I love. And let’s face it, they have it coming.***The reviews are in: “Kelly (Welcome Home, Katie Gallagher) introduces fierce, lovable heroine Sam Quinn with this master class in storytelling and survival. Seven years ago, Sam was attacked, raped, and forcibly turned into a werewolf, putting an end to her life as she knew it. She’s since made a home for herself in San Francisco, opening a combination bookstore/bar catering exclusively to the supernatural community. A loner by nature and still contending with her trauma, she’s content to lie low without a wolf pack of her own. But when dead bodies begin piling up across the city and Sam receives a threat from an unknown source, she finds herself surrounded by a phalanx of friends she never realized she had. Among them is Clive, the leader of the city’s vampire community, whose good looks attract Sam “like a zombie to brains.” Kelly pulls off an impressive feat, weaving the sensitively handled story of Sam’s emotional recovery through a rollicking adventure. The unique setting and endearingly quirky side characters only add to the charm. Readers will delight in both the humor and the heartache of this powerful urban fantasy, and they’ll be eager to see where Sam goes next.” (Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)) “This action-packed paranormal series launch will appeal to readers who enjoy a plot-driven, female-centric journey of growth with a side of romance. Great for fans of Patricia Briggs’s Alpha and Omega series.” (Book Life (Editor’s pick))
