Dirty Laundry

One spilled coffee.
One ruined shirt.
One outrageously handsome stranger with a puppy named Chaos.

Claire runs Dirty Laundry/Bubbles & Barks the only way she knows how—alone.

Since her parents passed, the laundromat is her livelihood, her responsibility, and her last connection to home. Between broken machines, overdue bills, and a town that always seems to be watching, she doesn’t have time for distractions.

Especially not ones in tailored suits.

When James Dorland bursts through her doors covered in coffee and career panic, Claire does what she does best—she fixes the problem.

What she doesn’t expect?

The spark that ignites when he comes back.
And keeps coming back.
For laundry lessons.
For Yappy Hour.
For her.

But James isn’t just in town for coffee and clean shirts.

He’s standing at a crossroads that could send him three thousand miles away—and Claire has built her entire life around staying.

Add in:

• One flirty veterinarian
• Two wildly unhinged dogs
• A risky dog-park dream
• And five hundred dollars that could change everything

…and Claire is about to learn that some stains come out easily—

…and some leave a mark.

In a town where everyone knows your business, falling in love might be the messiest load she’s ever taken on.
