As a busy mom and pedigree Poodle owner, Melanie has
little time to spare. Still, she doesn’t mind helping out
at Puppy Fest, an annual fundraiser to benefit Puppy
Posse, a local dog rescue organization. Considering the
venue—Belle Haven mansion, owned by wealthy philanthropist
Leo Brody—it’s shaping up to be the can’t-miss charity
event of the summer. Unfortunately, when Melanie’s
breeding background lands her in the doghouse with Jane,
Leo’s snappy daughter who runs the rescue, Melanie finds
herself simultaneously managing Puppy Fest and the
millionaire’s hopelessly fractious family.
But once Puppy Fest kicks off, Leo is nowhere to be found—
until Melanie discovers his current mistress crouching
over his dead body. According to police, the father of
nine’s severe nut allergy went into overdrive after he
accidentally consumed a contaminated cookie. However,
Libby, one of Leo’s children and a friend of Melanie’s
Aunt Peg, believes someone deliberately put him down for
good. And now, she’s begging a reluctant Melanie to
unearth the secrets hidden by the Brody pack. But the
closer Melanie gets to fetching answers, the higher the
stakes become—and the more she realizes that she’s chasing
a criminal who’s been groomed to win...
