New leash on life
(Book)

When former attorney and current dog whisperer Shane Kilcannon messes up his chance with a beautiful stranger whose confident smile and quick wit intrigue him more than any other woman he's ever met, he's ready to snarl like one of his beloved pit bulls. But Shane's work with the wildest and wariest of his family's rescue dogs has taught him patience and persistence. When his father hands him the opportunity to work alongside that very same woman who has come to town with ground-breaking tourism plans, he seizes it. He even offers to help her win over the locals, as long as she is willing to give a temporary home to one misunderstood dog and spend plenty of time with Shane. Chloe Somerest has built a reputation in the tourism industry as someone with big ideas that put little places on the map, and she;s certain she can do the same for Bitter Bark, north Carolina. All she has to do is convince one small town to change its name, open her clean freak heart to a dog with a penchant for face-licking, and avoid the land mines of local politics when her plans divide the townspeople. But none of that is as scary as the feeling of falling hard for a sexy charmer who whispers all the right things and tempts Chloe to forget a lifetime of hard lessons. Shane might know exactly how to get through to the creatures who need care the most, but he's met his match with Chloe, and it'll take every trick he knows to teach her to fall in love.
