From the author of Once Upon a Wine, a new novel set in the charming seashore town of Black Dog Bay, Delaware.
When everything has gone to the dogs . . .
When Jocelyn Hillier is named legal guardian for the late Mr. Allardyceβs pack of pedigreed Labrador retrievers, her world is flipped upside down. Sheβs spent her entire life toiling in the tourism industry in Black Dog Bay and never expected to be living the pampered life of a seasonal resident in an ocean side mansion, complete with a generous stipend. But her new role isnβt without its challenges: The dogs (although lovable) are more high-maintenance than any Hollywood diva, the man she wants to marry breaks her heart, and sheβs confronted at every turn by her late benefactorβs estranged son, Liam, who thinks heβs entitled to the inheritance left to the dogs.
Jocelyn has worked too hard to back down without a fight, and sheβs determined to keep her new fur family together. As she strives to uphold the βBest in Showβ standards her pack requires, Jocelyn finds love, family, and forgiveness in the most unexpected places.
