She's not looking for love, but a handsome veterinarian and a lost puppy have other plans...

Gorgeous and gifted, Annabelle Walker is a force of nature. A talented architect who has brought new designs and concepts to her family's construction firm, Anna's happy and doesn't feel anything's missing from her life, even as her siblings have all fallen in love this year. And then she finds an injured puppy on a bike ride.

Veterinarian Sawyer Braxton is lost while driving to his first day at Price Veterinary Clinic. He stops to ask directions of a bicyclist on the side of the road, and discovers three things: She's beautiful, stranded with a flat tire, and holding an injured puppy. Sawyer's fascinated, and it feels like fate as he offers the intriguing and vibrant woman a ride to the vet clinic.

It's a meet-cute, and Annabelle's definitely attracted, but she's determined that this time, she really will take a break from men. Sawyer's as stubborn as he is sexy, and he hits on a plan for a date—they'll both foster the pup while it heals.
