Some passions just can't be tamed ... Brynn thought she'd be chasing her dreams, not chasing dogs, when she set off on the adventure of a lifetime. When Bigambul woman Brynn Wallace leaves her Brisbane home to pursue her big dreams in the Big Apple, she imagines herself landing a fabulous career at a New York City publishing house and acquiring a collection of Louboutin shoes, not working in a doggy daycare with a boss from hell and a wardrobe from her nightmares. Yet good things are always possible in New York, especially when you believe in them hard enough. Bec soon finds herself making meaningful friendships, and engaging in some flirty flings, including with the gorgeous Sienna, also known as dancer Scarlett Belle. But when she stumbles on a handsome, single dog-dad and a commissioning editor for a big publisher, Brynn decides if she can convince him she's more than just a dog-sitter, all her NYC dreams will come true ... A cross-cultural romcom about pursuing dreams, dog-sitting, and uncovering secrets, by exciting Bigambul and Wakka Wakka author Melanie Saward.
