Book excerpt: Hannah Barker has it all. A booming business, a fabulous group of girlfriends, and a loving and devoted housemate . . . with floppy ears and a wet nose. She doesn’t have time for romance. Or so she says. Kent Clarkson is a single father on a mission to keep his daughter safe. But when the blonde bombshell he’s been butting heads with all summer proposes opening a dog park, Kent—who’s been once bitten and more than twice shy—goes on the offensive. Soon, it’s all-out war. The whole town knows the chemistry between Hannah and Kent is off the leash, but can these two set aside their differences long enough to fall in love?
