By Summer's End

Rate this book
A spirited yoga instructor fearful of animals.
A driven veterinarian.
A fake dating scheme gone wrong.

Promoting mind-body wellness while cajoling her bereaved mother out of the house is Genevieve Peters’ top priority. She’s definitely not interested in Dr. Adam Beringer, the town’s new veterinarian, no matter how gorgeous. One glance at animals sends fur and feathers flying. But when she is tasked with organizing a goat yoga event, she’s cornered into collaborating with Adam whose farm and goats provide the perfect setting for success.

Nothing can disrupt Adam’s goal for his veterinary hospital to achieve accreditation. Failure isn’t an option. He certainly isn’t looking for love again. But when Genevieve blurts out on a public forum that they’re dating, he agrees to play along if only to crush his mother’s efforts to marry him off by summer’s end.

Adam’s ability to ease Genevieve's animal phobia and their not-so-fake kiss before the all-seeing eyes of the town—and their mothers—awakens disregarded dreams.

But when the goat yoga event ends in disaster, will the simmer of real love between them mend the mess? In a town where romance flourishes, anything is possible.

Mary A. Felkins is a multi-published, award-winning author of closed door romance whose novels deliver no shortage of sizzle, sass, and passion. She is a blogger and a member of ACFW, My Book Therapy, Novel Academy, and FHLCW. (Faith Hope and Love Christian Writers) 


She can be lured from her creative writing space if presented with an unopened bag of Peanut M&Ms. A surprise appearance by her teen idol, Donny Osmond, would also do the trick—although she’d likely pass out. 
If she likes your first or last name, expect it to show up in one of her novels.

A banter-filled, quick summer weekend read! If you love small town romance, grumpy sunshine, fake dating tropes and a swoon-worthy ex-military softy veterinarian MMC, you will love this 🫶🏽

I really enjoyed the loyal unconditional love from animals representation that we get to see within the storyline. It really pulls on the heart strings.

Cute story of Wild Rose Ridge

I really liked Adam and Eve's story 😉

Ms Felkins' story brought yet another couple together beautifully with humor and creativity. I look forward to her other books.
