LOVE IN TRAINING

The dog is destroying her life. The man might destroy her heart.

Journalist Caprice Phipps is no stranger to heartbreak—the unworn $5,000 wedding dress in her closet is proof of that. Thankfully, she’s too busy tracking down leads and braving online harassment to dwell on her ugly past. But when news comes of her ex’s death, she’s haunted by the fissures in her heart. A feeling further complicated when she inherits, of all things, his dog.

Dog trainer Drew Forbes can’t understand why his brother left Rufus, a war dog that meant everything to him, to the woman who drove him to end his life. Cold-hearted Caprice has no business owning a chihuahua, let alone his brother’s military-trained Belgian Malinois. But when Drew confronts her to demand she hand over the canine, her flat refusal leaves him fuming.

Caprice sacrifices a couch, a duvet, and a gorgeous pair of Louboutins trying to fit Rufus into her life—but when the dog jeopardizes her career, she finds herself crawling to Drew for help. And he’s only too happy to bring her to heel. But as they work through Rufus’s trauma, Caprice and Drew will unleash feelings—about the past, and each other—that could change them both forever.
