Author: Debbie Burns

Debbie Burns builds contemporary love stories in which relationships develop alongside animal rescue, family responsibility, and hard-earned efforts to rebuild trust. My Forever Home is the third book in her Rescue Me series and follows Tess Grasso and Mason Redding as their lives intersect through a St. Louis animal shelter. Tess brings professional experience and an unsettled past to the shelter, while Mason is balancing family obligations with the possibility of a new relationship. Burns uses rescue work as more than a decorative setting: the demands of caring for vulnerable animals reveal patience, reliability, and the limits of good intentions. Published by Sourcebooks Casablanca in 2018, My Forever Home continues a series connected by the shelter and the people who support it. Burns’s stories combine the conventions of contemporary romance with practical attention to fostering, adoption, and community. The title applies both to the animals awaiting placement and to characters deciding whether they can build a lasting home together.
