Man's Best Friend — Amanda York

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

Romance wasn't on veterinarian Alex Aimes' mind when she was walking her Irish setter on the beach one foggy morning -- but romance has a way of sneaking up on you. The mists parted to reveal a scruffy golden retriever -- and her equally disreputable looking owner. It was love at first sight for the dogs, but things weren't as easy for Will and Alex.

Unshaven, uncombed and definitely untidy, Will O'Keefe had a face even a mother couldn't describe as handsome. But his charm and his appeal were undeniable, and despite her careful plans, Alex knew she had to follow her heart. Every dog has his day, and this was theirs.
