Dear Reader,

“You had me at puppies …”

Those were my actual words to my editor when the opportunity to be involved in this fabulous anthology arose. I was supposed to be having some well-earned time off over the holidays but … well … Puppies!

Writing it in the weeks leading up to Christmas was fabulous for getting in the festive mood and I finished editing it at 6pm on New Year’s Eve, just a few hours earlier than the story concludes. I really liked that synergy.

As soon as I said yes, I knew my pups would have to be super-special. Puppies-plus. And I knew, as soon as I said yes, who—or rather, what—my pups would be. Twice in my zoo working life I’ve spent fabulous hours waiting for the first gorgeous signs of the emergence of newborn African wild dogs. Once, I was the right person in the right place at the right time long after everyone else had gone home and got a glimpse of the first dark, inquisitive, sweet little pup that boldly climbed out of the den and into the dusk light.

That moment has never left me.

Now I share it with you, all wrapped up amid the love that emerges between two really compassionate and lovely people just as hesitantly as those pups emerged from the den. I hope you enjoy.

May love always find you,

Nikki Logan
