A Boy and his Dog

If Dr. Hope Hernandez were any more exhausted, she'd be the one on the gurney. Her drive for perfection leaves her scrambling to juggle an insane ER schedule, studying for boards, and her boyfriend-whoops! Ex-boyfriend.

Fine. One less thing demanding her attention. Hope buries her pain in work. She'd get more affection from a dog, anyway, with less risk to her heart. Safe and uncomplicated. The second she sees the forlorn, retired military K9, Hope falls hard: he's sad and alone, just like her. She adopts the dog, never dreaming she might need him for more than companionship. They head to Colorado and a fresh start. But when a scorching hot veteran shows up to lay claim to her dog, he disrupts her careful plan. He's anything but safe-he's dynamite. And he's oh, so wrong if he thinks he can charm Hope into giving up her loyal companion.

Bomb expert Grant Calloway and his working dog, Mojo, save hundreds with their off-duty heroism at a New Year's Day parade in Kosovo, but reality bites hard: Mired in red tape, then bounced out of the Army for hearing loss, Grant's blindsided when Mojo's adopted out by a civilian who won't understand the needs of a military-trained dog. His best friend deserves better. Grant turns his back on a lucrative job and instead hits the road for Colorado to track down his dog.

Finding Mojo should've been the hardest part, but the woman who took him won't listen to reason, and Grant's charm has no effect. Determined not to allow himself to be diverted by her big brown eyes and a gorgeous smile, Grant lays siege to reacquire Mojo by whatever means necessary.

A Boy and his Dog is a steamy, stand-alone enemies-to-lovers military/medical romance with a Happily Ever After and no cliffhangers. It contains sex scenes and profanity, and is intended for adults.
