Rescue Me - Hardcover

by Lauren Connolly (Author)

When the universe screws you over, adopt a dog.

Paige Herbert doesn't know how she lost control of her life. Friday morning, she had her future planned. Sunday night, she's jobless and staring at her half-naked fiancé and a woman wearing her green robe. Taking refuge in her childhood home, Paige decides this time around her life partner will have four legs instead of two. But her newly rescued pit bull is in bad need of obedience training ... and the perfect guy for the job has Paige forgetting the past.

Dash Lamont doesn't want to go back to jail. Out on parole and working at an animal shelter, he's focused on living life by the rules. And number one on the list: avoid temptation. Unfortunately, Paige parks in the middle of Dash's well-ordered life, demanding his attention with her offbeat conversation and sinful curves. Despite his decision to keep his distance, he somehow finds himself agreeing to her plea for help.

Awkward attempts at flirting, late-night dancing to jazz music, and a chance taken at a Halloween party lure the hesitant pair down a sensual road.

But when sins of the past work against the newly budding romance, Dash will need to decide whether to take his chance on love or stay in his safe lane, watching as Paige drives off without him.
