Cold Nose, Warm Heart — Mara Wells

Man's best friend is turning out to be his worst enemy…

I have one chance to redeem my family name: take a rundown Miami Beach apartment building and turn it into luxury condos. Easy, right? Sure, if you're not faced with a bunch of angry neighbors -- and smart and sassy building manager Riley Carson -- who are all salty about me tearing down their precious dog park. Listen, I like dogs as much as the next guy, but this is business.

Her bite is definitely worse than her bark…

Caleb Donovan has absolutely no understanding of the value of a community dog park. And try as I might to convince him -- with help from my big-hearted dog LouLou -- the man is intractable. If only he weren't also adorable. I'm supposed to be rescuing the dog park, not drooling like a shelter puppy. The attraction between us is the last thing I need…unless I can somehow convince him that what's best for business isn't always what's best for the heart.
