✨ COMING SOON: A HEART-MENDING ROMANCE FOR EVERYONE WHO’S EVER LOVED AND LOST ✨

“When the world feels broken, sometimes the right dog—and the right person—can teach your heart to heal.”

​

Matt McNeil has spent his life turning chaos into calm. As one of the country’s most respected elite dog trainers, he’s known for transforming even the most challenging dogs into loyal companions and highly sought-after working dogs.

But when his own lifelong partner—his best friend, his shadow, his family—is struck with an incurable illness, Matt faces the one decision he can’t train his way out of. And it shatters him.

Grief turns him inward. Anger keeps everyone out.
And as far as Matt is concerned, he will never open his heart to another dog again.

​

When his team calls him in to consult about a dog he’s previously trained, he wasn’t expecting to meet Raven—a whirlwind of teeth, paws, and unfiltered energy wrapped in glossy black fur. Raven is high-maintenance, high-octane, and high-risk… and a challenge Matt is not looking for.

Enter Harper, the relentlessly optimistic rescue shelter volunteer whose passion project includes a rotating cast of misbehaving, overindulged rescue dogs—and the uncanny ability to get under Matt’s skin. Her dogs ignore commands. She ignores Matt’s walls. And somehow, she sees the man behind the grief he refuses to confront.

​

Thrown together by circumstance, Matt and Harper clash at every turn. But beneath the frustration is something neither expected:
A wounded trainer who’s forgotten how to hope.
A volunteer who believes every broken thing deserves a second chance.
A dog who needs both of them more than they realize.

​

Three hearts.
Three pasts.
One chance to rebuild a future.

A story of love, loss, second chances, and the healing only a dog can bring—this unforgettable romance will tug at every heartstring you have.
