UNLEASHED HOLIDAY by Victoria Schade - Spotlight

 


It's Publication day for one of our favorite authors and this year she's sharing her darling holiday novel about our four-legged friends in UNLEASHED HOLIDAY (BerkleyTradeOriginal).


Chelsea Higgins has long moved on from her college nemesis-turned-crush Andrew Gibson, and the drunken night they shared many years ago. She’s doing just fine now: even though she’s mourning the loss of her dear dad, she’s heading into the holiday season with a thriving dog training business, the love of her mom and sister, a loyal senior dog, and a new pup to keep her company at home.

 

But when a new business opens in the space next door to Chelsea’s, Andrew Gibson becomes her new neighbor. Not the reunion that Chelsea had been hoping for! Not to mention, Andrew is occupying the lucrative vacancy that Chelsea has been eyeing for months, with hopes to expand her business. Who cares if it’s the season of joy? Let the turf war begin.

When an unfortunate run-in with Andrew’s dog leaves Chelsea with an injured wrist, the two strike a deal: Andrew will help Chelsea rehab the injury if she’ll work with him to train his adorably uncivilized boxer. Soon, their typical bickering turns to bantering, and Chelsea finds herself in puppy love with the guy she once swore she’d never fall for again. Will she find herself under the mistletoe with her sworn enemy this holiday season? Or is this unexpected Christmas gift just too good to be true?



Victoria Schade has been a dog trainer and writer for over seventeen years. During that time her dog duties have included working behind the scenes on Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl as the lead animal wrangler, appearing on two seasons of the Animal Planet show Faithful Friends, writing dog training content and appearing in educational videos for NBC/Universal, Pet360, PawCulture and petMD, and writing two dog training books, Bonding With Your Dog and Secrets of a Dog Trainer.

Victoria shares her 1850’s always-in- need-of- renovations home with Millie the Smooth Brussels Griffon (who wants you to know that she is not a skinny pug), Olive the mixed breed dog, the occasional foster pup, and her incredibly tolerant husband, Tom.
