Blurb Blitz Tour and Giveaway - Rescue Me by Jody Vitek


 
 
Rescue Me

by Jody Vitek

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

 Can Catherine accept the consequences of a great-aunt's dying wish without losing her heart or independence?

 Taking in stray, injured or needy animals, veterinarian doctor Catherine Mornelli opens the Four Hooves and Paws Rescue program. But the land where the animals are kept is being sold. She approaches her Great-Aunt Elaine about possibly using her barn. However, visiting her aunt and checking out the barn also means seeing her ex-boyfriend.

Josef Garrison farms land that once belonged to his family for generations but went to his neighbor Elaine after his great-grandfather lost it in a poker game to Catherine’s great-grandfather. When Catherine returns, he sees a way to win back her heart and the land at the same time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

 Cat’s truck sat parked in the driveway among multiple vehicles. He didn’t know the entire family would be there, but then again he didn’t care. He had to know if she was carrying his child. He had to know if he was going to be a father.

 He approached the front door and heard laughter. With a deep breath, he pushed the doorbell and heard, “Catherine, would you get that.”

 The door opened. A startled gasp escaped her lungs while she placed a hand upon his chest pushing him back. “What are you doing here?”

It was obvious Margaret hadn’t told her he was coming.

“Your mother invited me.”

“She what? Why would she do that?”

Cat looked beautiful even if she was angry. Her eyes sparkled, and her skin flushed.

“You wouldn’t answer or return my calls. I called your mother, and before I knew it she invited me for dinner.” He reached to touch her. To feel her again.

 But she pulled away before he could skim her skin. “You called my mom?” she questioned with a raised voice and then lowered to a near growl. “What did you tell her?”

“I didn’t say anything other than I was trying to reach you, and you weren’t getting back to me.” He stared into chestnut eyes. “We need to talk.”

The door flew open. “Josef,” Margaret exclaimed. “You made it. Come on in. Catherine, let him in.”

“I didn’t know he was the surprise guest this evening, Mother.”

    1. Andra, thank you for commenting and visiting today. Cat, is short for Catherine and Cat came to me before her full name. Josef is actually a name in my family, but last names come from a list I've built. I go through the list and the name has to fit the character and story as well as flow right with the first name.

  10. Since I'm also a Catherine, I love when I share a name with the heroine. And the fact that she is a vet and animal lover makes her all the more appealing to me.
