Carrie was happy to leave small-town life and the boy who broke her heart behind, but when her mother is seriously injured in a car accident she returns to take care of her mom and the puppy she just adopted, Jackson.

Little does she know that Jackson is going to lead her right back to that boy (now a very good-looking man) and a second chance at a first love.

This story is part of the Puppy Love series of stories about puppies that bring two people together.

(Note: This story is about twice as long as the other stories in the Puppy Love series and a bit more serious but it's still about a puppy bringing two people together.)
