Worth The Howl

A Love, Paws & Chaos spicy romcom

By: Meghan Gilmore

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A grumpy-sunshine romance with a four-legged matchmaker who refuses to take no for an answer.
Wren Holloway is one smart career pivot away from proving everyone wrong. As a fresh-start consultant, she helps people turn chaos into order—and she’s desperate to land three showcase clients for a magazine feature that could make her business. So when she’s hired to help a stubborn chef launch his restaurant by Valentine’s Day, she’s ready for a challenge.
She’s just not ready for Dominic Castillo.
Nic hasn’t trusted anyone since his business partner’s fraud destroyed his reputation and cost him the restaurant his grandmother always dreamed of. Now he’s running a food truck, keeping his head down, and surviving on grit alone. The last thing he needs is an annoyingly optimistic consultant reorganizing his life—or the ancient basset hound who keeps escaping his foster home to camp out at Nic’s truck like a furry, wrinkled stalker.
But Biscuit knows what he wants: carnitas, belly rubs, and these two stubborn humans to stop fighting their very obvious chemistry.
As the Valentine’s Day deadline looms and old scandals resurface, Wren and Nic are forced into late nights, close quarters, and sparks neither of them can ignore. The heat between them grows impossible to deny—but trusting each other means risking everything they’ve worked so hard to protect.
When the past threatens to derail Nic’s future and Wren’s carefully planned comeback hangs in the balance, they’ll have to decide if they’re brave enough to take a chance on love… and whether one dramatic, howling basset hound might just know exactly where he belongs.
Worth the Howl is a spicy contemporary romance with banter, big feelings, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
