Serena Oakley is hiding. However, she's not hiding for the
reasons undercover investigator Nick Whalen thinks she is.
After being in Australia for two years, Nick doesn't
recognize the chocolate-dipped body with which most of
America's red-blooded males dream of becoming more
familiar.
After her time as a model and dealing with personal
traumas, Serena just wants to run Paws-A-While for pampered
pooches. With a prop purse-dog in tow, Nick is having a
hard time adjusting to the world of the indulged canine and
refuses to be seen as a dog's "dad." Nick is on the scent
of an identity theft scam, and he needs to know everything
Serena's been hiding; meanwhile, Serena has a strong
aversion to police officers or any take-charge men who
might try to burst the fragile bubble of normalcy she's
built with her animal daycare.
However, between the feelings attempting to scale their
mutual distrust, a fluffy Yorkie-poo named Bessie and a
down-on-his-luck man's dog named Mack (not for the truck,
but for his love of fast-food), Nick and Serena discover
that trust isn't for the dogs.
HOME IS WHERE THE BARK IS is a well-written light mystery
with plenty of animal descriptions for animal-lovers.
From the author of the delightful Love is a
Four-Legged Word comes another novel of romance,
mystery, and dogs.
Former model Serena Oakley
has opened Paws-A-While, a doggy daycare and spa in San
Francisco. When a ruggedly handsome client walks in, holding
a Yorki-Poo too dainty for his personality, Serena knows
something's not right.
Undercover PI Nick Whalen
has followed a series of identity frauds to Serena and is
determined to dig up secrets he's certain she is hiding.
Despite their mutual distrust, Nick and Serena find
themselves bonding over an injured, orphaned dog. And soon
they're arousing more than just suspicions. But will the
pair trust in love enough to thwart a danger circling too
close to home?
