Dorie's Pampered Pooch business is failing. She'd rather be rescuing dogs in crisis than buffing their toenails, but she can't admit failure, especially with her sisters' critical voices in the background. Will a homeless dog, a hospitalized grandmother, and an introverted photojournalist change her battered luck?

Chad's abysmal record with women means he's always 'just a friend.' But when Dorie's penchant for saving dogs pits her against unsavoury characters, he leaps into the path of danger, armed with a camera.

Readers will adore this lighthearted story of small-town connections, family relationships, and enemies-to-lovers who bond over danger and dogs.
