Description

First in a fun, funny contemporary romance series about the passions and perils of a local dog park in trendy Miami Beach Man's best friend is turning out to be his worst enemy... I have one chance to redeem my family name- take a rundown Miami Beach apartment building and turn it into luxury condos. Easy, right Sure, if you're not faced with a bunch of angry neighbors-and smart and sassy building manager Riley Carson-who are all salty about me tearing down their precious dog park. Listen, I like dogs as much as the next guy, but this is business. Her bite is definitely worse than her bark... Caleb Donovan has absolutely no understanding of the value of a community dog park. And try as I might to convince him-with help from my big-hearted dog LouLou-the man is intractable. If only he weren't also adorable. I'm supposed to be rescuing the dog park, not drooling like a shelter puppy. The attraction between us is the last thing I need...unless I can somehow convince him that what's best for business isn't always what's best for the heart.
