A novel by Daphne Dyer
Bribing Isa to keep the puppy is the riskiest decision of Bryce’s life … his secrets aren't safe with his heart on the line.
If there’s an emergency, don’t call Isa, has become pastry chef Isa Garcia’s family motto. When she finds a puppy in the midst of a thunderstorm, she decides she’s done being the butt of the family jokes. Despite being petrified of the dog, Isa will do anything to overcome her fear and prove to her family she’s dependable.
Reclusive dog trainer Bryce Kelley doesn’t want a partner for their hometown's obstacle course race, but the town council refuses to let him enter the fundraiser as an individual. When his best friend’s little sister needs help with her puppy, bribery will get him what he needs. But Isa makes his palms sweat and heart thud in his chest, and it's not because she triggers his PTSD. Despite his best intentions he can't keep his distance.
A distractible puppy, barbed wire crawls, and an over-protective best friend can’t stop the growing attraction, but they have secrets they refuse to share. What will it take to earn their Happily Ever After and win the race?
