Megan Rose has her work cut out for her. After the death of
her mother and following her divorce, Megan decides to move
to Fredericksburg to get to know her absentee father and
take over his veterinary practice. Little does she know
that her father's reputation drives away any potential
clients. Struggling to build the business back up and keep
her father in check leaves Megan with no time for a social
life. So she sets out to make friends. Walking her dog at
the local doggie park, she meets two kind women and quickly
forms friendships with each. However, finding a man is a
different matter altogether. Megan's divorce has led her to
believe that she never wants to get married again. In fact,
all she really wants is the physical aspect of a
relationship with a man.
Sutter Foley's story is a true rags-to-riches tale.
Building his computer software company from the ground up
has made him a multimillionaire, a tabloid favorite and
cost him his marriage. Well, maybe his lost marriage had
something to do with being "emotionally retarded," too. A
true Englishman, Sutter is polite and very reserved,
preferring solitude to companionship. This is working well
for him, until a feisty vet shows up on his doorstep
insisting he owns an equally spirited puppy. It turns out
that the dog has been abandoned by Sutter's recently fired
employee.
Somehow, and Sutter is not quite sure how, Megan convinces
him to keep the dog. She sees something in him, a need he
doesn't even know he has, and even though he continues to
try to give up the puppy, she keeps persuading him to keep
it. Through their repeated dealings with the pup, their
attraction grows, and they soon find themselves making
excuses to see each other, until ending inevitably in each
others arms. Undeniable attraction and budding friendship
aren't enough to overcome the damage of past relationships
and the vast differences in lifestyles, especially when
their affair is exposed in the tabloids. But maybe love and
the promise of new life will.
I found GUYS & DOGS to be a very enjoyable read, and I
definitely recommend it.
One of them is affectionate, loving, and eternally
loyal -- a companion for life who lives only to make you
happy...
Small-town veterinarian Megan Rose doesn't usually wake up
next to strangers. But this morning she finds one sleeping
in her bed. Unfortunately, "Baywatch" a stray puppy,
doesn't belong at the address on her tags, either: the
mansion of Sutter Foley, millionaire software mogul and
six fabulous feet of gorgeous, eligible male.
Sutter doesn't even like dogs. He does, however, like the
sexy, spunky vet who's trying to saddle him with a pooch.
The animal magnetism they share is intense, but so is the
spotlight in which Sutter lives. Can Megan stand the heat?
Though her outspoken ways make a lot of waves in Sutter's
goldfish-bowl world, he's never enjoyed life so much.
Could she be the trustworthy companion he's been looking
for . . . or should he stick with the dog?
It's the old story: girl meets dog . . . girl and dog meet
guy . . . guy loses girl, gets dog . . . Or will there be
a frisky new twist to this puppy's tale?
