Welcome to Darling Springs: a small town where word travels fast, celebrity doggies come for their day spa, and your one-night stand might one day accidentally become your work buddy...or more.

Chloe Rivers’s impulsive one night stand has turned out to be a total mistake—in more ways than one. But after an actress hires the small town dog trainer to teach her pup, and all her famous friends come clamoring too, it’s too late to find a workplace that isn’t owned by the sexy stranger she spent that steamy night with last month.

Sawyer Dumont is serious about running Darling Springs new doggy-daycare as professionally as possible. He’s a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y Chloe is as they pretend their hot night didn’t happen. But when he squeezes that hard body past her as she brings donuts to work, his dark eyes roaming over Chloe as she teaches Fido to sit, stay and come—she’s sure he can’t stop thinking about it either.

But when she needs a dance partner for the town fundraiser that her client’s roped her into, she senses an opportunity. And, it turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.

Giving into their Dirty Dancing chemistry just once won’t hurt.

Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable—she’s got a crush on him too.
