'So you and the dog are a package deal, then?' 'Yes. But just so you know, Mr McAllister — I'm not for sale, either.'

School librarian and Comfort Paws cofounder Belle Darling will do anything to keep her reading assistance program going at Bluebonnet Elementary — except sell her beloved dog, Peaches, to billionaire Cash McAllister! And yes, he has the funding to keep the program going — but he wants this particular dog because she is the first creature his orphaned niece turned daughter has shown real interest in since her parents died. So Belle insists Cash take classes with Belle to train a new dog for his little girl. And when their working together reveals Belle and Cash's explosive chemistry — and a connection neither expected — will their tenuous alliance become a more permanent partnership, canines and all?
