'August Merriweather has always been good with animals. In fact, she’s known as Manhattan’s Dog Whisperer. Men, on the other hand? Not so much. She’s been falling for the wrong guys ever since her regrettable crush on Keaton Sax, older brother of her best friend, Leah, and the biggest jerkface this side of the Hudson. 

'Now an emotionally closed off widower, Keaton has become one of the most formidable men on Wall Street, but August knows his secret. He’s not driven by sales targets and bonus checks—Keaton just wants to give his family the security they never had. So when Leah asks Keaton to wrangle her over-the-top, dramatic husky at a weekend talent competition, Keaton says yes…and begs August to help him win the event for Leah.

'Between obstacle courses, Molly’s husky temper tantrums and a cabin with just one bed, August is having a blast. Away from the pressure to have a “perfect life” with the “right guy,” she finds herself relaxing and getting to see the softer side of the man she once loved. Is this just a temporary truce? Or could Keaton finally be the right guy at the right time? '(Publication summary)

'Brian “Mack” MacDermot lives to play by the rules. Checklists, guidelines and boundaries? He loves them all. But lusting after his best mate’s little sister is strictly a no-go zone, even if she’s doing her best to tempt him.

'Zoey Hutcherson is sick of harbouring the world’s most epic unrequited crush simply because she’s got a reputation for being reckless. Now she’s doing her best to prove she’s got her ducks in a row. Business partner? Check. Cool idea for an Aussie-inspired dessert business? Check. Food truck in need of makeover? Check.

'But Zoey won’t rest until there’s one more item ticked off her to-do list—Mack. She knows the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and she is not above a sugary seduction. But can these polar opposites find common ground outside the bedroom? Or will Zoey’s heart get candy crushed?'
