Sydney moved to the small town of Burton, Georgia to run her aunt's bakery. At least, that's her excuse. She doesn't exactly want to broadcast the fact that her own restaurant went belly-up, her boyfriend ditched her and her life is in shambles. And the cute newspaper guy who keeps pestering her for date with his danish? Yeah, that's not happening.

Will is pretty sure he's a glutton for punishment. After all, Sydney's made it clear she's not interested, but he just can't seem to stay away, no matter how hard he tries. Now, though, he's got a secret weapon--the four-legged kind. Can this down-on-his-luck dog be the key to toppling the walls around her heart?
