Top Dog — Amy Burgess

Nick Vincenzo and Daphne Moss are arch-rivals at Masterson Oil in Houston. By day, they trade insults and innuendos, but by night they fantasize about each other.

When Daphne decides to adopt a rescue dog from Dachshund Darlings, the last person she expects to bring the dog to her is Nick Vincenzo. Nick has been fostering dogs for years, but he's never fallen for an adopter before Daphne--it doesn't help he's already filled his head with sexy images of her.

Daphne succumbs to an afternoon of secret passion, but Nick wants the start of a beautiful relationship.
