A loner by choice, Jane Connor is happy with her successful
career training dogs and taking her golden retriever,
Shadow, through Dog Show Obedience trials. At the top of
their sport, Jane is stunned when she and Shadow are
defeated by an obvious novice handler, Cole Forrest, and
his young dog, a Papillion named Dobby.
Jane's world is turned upside down even more when her
Arizona home and kennels are destroyed by a wildfire.
Rescuing the animals she's been boarding makes Jane a hero
to the animals' owners and the media, but when her
insurance refuses to pay (due to a lost premium payment),
Jane feels her life can't get any worse.
Salvation comes from Rising Star Productions, in the form
of Angela Gardner, producer of feel-good animal specials.
She proposes following Jane and Shadow on the summer
agility circuit. Living in an RV for the summer with a
bunch of strangers, including Cole, Dobby and Cole's older-
than-her-years daughter, Teri, isn't Jane's idea of a good
time, but her circumstances force her to accept Angela's
offer.
A NEW LEASH ON LIFE is a charming, touching look into the
competitive world of dog training. Jane is a wonderful,
sympathetic character, struggling to deal with the curves
life has tossed her, the most challenging being the
attention of handsome Cole Forrest and Teri. Jane's
personal growth is intriguing and heart-felt. Carmichael's
fans will enjoy her latest tale.
Dog trainer Jane Connor has always preferred the company of
canines, so when her kennel is destroyed in an Arizona
wildfire, she finds her whole world in ashes. Jane managed
to rescue all the animals, but her status as a local hero
won’t pay the bills. Soon she’s reluctantly agreeing to work
on a reality TV series about life on the dog show
circuit–starring herself and her golden retriever, Shadow.
Jane has complete confidence in Shadow’s star quality–until
she sets eyes on their chief competitor:an irritatingly
perfect little papillon! Worse, the dog is attached at the
leash to hunky Cole Forrest. Jane can hardly hide her
attraction off-camera, so how will she conceal it from a
national audience? It’s exactly the kind of distraction
she doesn’t need. But in a summer of surprises, Jane just
might discover that an old dog learn new tricks–when love is
the treat.
