After the animal surgeon's long-term boyfriend cuts loose, she's all alone except for the goofy, untrained stray she finds outside her clinic one morning.

Is God really leading her down this path? And if so, does she really want to go there? She's not equipped to be a mother to a sullen teenager or wife to a grumpy man. Ben Williams has kept most of his feelings tucked away safely inside after his wife of fourteen years left for another man. Now divorced and absorbed with his work and raising Jayden, his therapist's prescription to get a pup surprises him. A pup? Isn't an angsty teenager enough? But he caves, and gets one. And he's glad he did, because the captivating woman he meets at puppy school stirs something inside him. But although she's beautiful and bubbly, can he risk opening his heart again after being hurt so badly? Wouldn't it be safer to simply walk away? But it wouldn't hurt to be friendly, would it? However, as their friendship deepens and they fall for each other, Jayden rebels and Ben fears Tessa will walk away... He doesn't blame her.
