Dog trainer Jane Connor has always preferred the company of canines, so when her kennel is destroyed in an Arizona wildfire, she finds her whole world in ashes. Jane managed to rescue all the animals, but her status as a local hero won't pay the bills. Soon she's reluctantly agreeing to work on a reality TV series about life on the dog show circuit--starring herself and her golden retriever, Shadow.

Jane has complete confidence in Shadow's star quality--until she sets eyes on their chief competitor:an irritatingly perfect little papillon! Worse, the dog is attached at the leash to hunky Cole Forrest. Jane can hardly hide her attraction off-camera, so how will she conceal it from a national audience? It's exactly the kind of distraction
she doesn't need. But in a summer of surprises, Jane just might discover that an old dog learn new tricks--when love is the treat.
