Domesticating Luc

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 just needs to learn 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?
