The Fourteen-Million-Dollar Poodle — Nancy Warren

Play nice? Play fair? Not on your life. But with these bad boys and their expensive toys, it's so much more fun to play dirty...

Labor dispute negotiator Vince Grange has a reputation for being a tough guy. Tough guys hammer out deals, drink beer, and keep their well-muscled, six-foot-four physiques in shape. They do not inherit frou-frou toy poodles named Mimi who only understand French. Good thing Vince was a softie for his late eccentric aunt, and really good thing she left him fourteen million dollars so he can hire a French dog nanny. But the minute sultry Sophie Veneau shows up, Vince takes a sudden interest in learning whatever she has to teach, especially if it's the French for "why don't we go to my room...?"

These bad boys have all the right toys. Good thing they're willing to share...
