Collie Jolly

A sunny dog trainer. A grieving New Orleans photographer. The unruly pup that brings them together.

Ashley's never owned a dog, much less trained one. But she's not about to let that little detail stop her-especially during the holiday season-from applying for this dog training job. Her new gig is the perfect way to survive the recession while strolling the festive streets of New Orleans with a cute pooch. The biggest challenge? Heeling a growing attraction to her stunning shut-in of a boss.

When her girlfriend died a year ago, Madison found herself overwhelmed by grief and her girlfriend's rambunctious puppy. Now the dog is an unmanageable, attention-starved reminder of everything Madison has lost. She's still afraid to face the world, but her vibrant new dog trainer-with the help of a furry sidekick-is determined to bring light, laughter, and Christmas cheer back into Madison's life.

Collie Jolly is a heartwarming sapphic holiday romance filled with the magic of New Orleans at Christmastime.
