Stalled at the Pearly Gates, Gabriella (Bree) Smith is sent (okay, pushed) back to earth to earn her wings. Her assignment? Transform Devlin Hunt—ruthless lawyer and relationship skeptic extraordinaire—into a man who believes in happily ever after. Before he marries the wrong woman in ten days.
No pressure. Except Bree’s terrible at angel-ing. And converting a man who’s built his entire career on cold, hard evidence? Mission: Impossible.
Dev thinks Bree is either delusional or the world’s worst con artist (his money’s on both). She wears head-to-toe white, gorges on his maraschino cherries, and claims heavenly forces are helping her “fix” him. Worse? He’s dangerously aware of how sinfully appealing she looks in his shirts.
His solution? Use logic and lawyer cunning to evict her from his previously well-ordered life.
Trouble is, sprinkler malfunctions keep happening. Impossible golf shots. Champagne that tastes like milk. The real problem? Falling for the one miracle he can’t explain away—the angel who’s supposed to disappear in less than two weeks.
Good thing lawyers excel at finding loopholes. Because even though she’s heaven sent, he’s hell-bent on keeping her.
Raised with limited peer interaction, Ernestine St Bennett has difficulty interpreting social cues. At twenty-five she’s become a loner; a shy nerd immersed in her scientific studies, whose best friend is her pet fish, Waldo.
Then Ernestine meets Simon Prime, who’s obviously a nerd, too! Sympathizing with his social dysfunction, Ernie decides to help poor Simon increase his self-esteem and thus enhance his social standing. Using principles learned in her fish studies, she’ll simply turn Simon from meek to macho.
What Ernestine doesn’t know (but Waldo suspects) is that Simon Prime is really ex-cop, private investigator Sam Pierce in disguise. A man who definitely doesn’t need his masculinity enhanced!
He’s definitely undomesticated…
Julie Jones is proud of her dog training institute, but her latest client is jeopardizing its stellar rating. He growls. He snaps. He refuses to follow the simplest command without balking. But his dog is an absolute sweetie. All Puppy needs, Julie tells his surly master, is to bond.
Luc Tagliano wants to correct the destructive behavior of the 150-pound mastiff his great-aunt left him—not bond with it! Although he wouldn’t mind some bonding with sexy little Julie. As for Puppy, the dog needs to behave, so Luc can place him in a good home.
But after watching the two males together, Julie is convinced the best home for Puppy is with Luc. Luc, however, decides the best home for Puppy is with Julie.
So here’s the deal:
Luc persuades Julie to move into his guest house temporarily to help him train Puppy, secretly sure she’ll eventually adopt the dog despite her teeny, tiny apartment. Julie agrees to help Luc, secretly sure that with a little coaching, Luc will keep the mastiff, despite his seemingly teeny, tiny heart. The problem with their respective plans? The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to remember who’s training whom.
And Puppy is worried. Because if Julie doesn’t have room in her home for him…and Luc doesn’t have room in his heart…what will happen to Puppy?
