How do you start over when the biggest mistake of your life has more than one million views?
Forget diamonds—the internet is forever. Social media consultant Isla Thompson learned that lesson the hard way when she went viral for all the wrong reasons. A month later, Isla is still having nightmares about the moment she ruined a young starlet’s career and made herself the most unemployable influencer in Manhattan. But she doesn’t have the luxury of hiding until she’s no longer Instagram poison. Not when her fourteen-year-old sister, Dani, needs Isla to keep a roof over their heads. So, she takes the first job she can get: caring for Camilla, a glossy-maned, foul-tempered hellhound.
After a week of ferrying Camilla from playdates to pet psychics, Isla starts to suspect that the dachshund’s bark is worse than her bite—just like her owner, Theo Garrison. Isla has spent her career working to make people likable and here’s Theo—happy to hide behind his reputation as a brutish recluse. But Theo isn’t a brute—he’s sweet and funny, and Isla should not see him as anything but the man who signs her paychecks. Because loving Theo would mean retreating to his world of secluded luxury, and Isla needs to show Dani that no matter the risk, dreams are always worth chasing.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
London (Destined for Forever) charms in her Paws in the City series launch. After publicist Isla Thompson accidentally livestreams her 17-year-old starlet client's most humiliating moment, she's deemed social media poison. Fired from her job, and desperate to support herself and her 14-year-old sister, Dani, she takes a gig as a dog sitter. Reclusive publishing scion Theo Garrison is mourning the loss of the grandmother who raised him and doing his best not to let anyone get near enough to hurt him when he hires Isla as the latest in a string of dog walkers for his grandmother's persnickety dachshund, Camilla. To amuse herself, Isla creates an Instagram account about Camilla's cushy adventures—not expecting it to become a viral sensation. The newfound internet fame is validating proof that Isla's still got it, but as Isla and Theo develop feelings for each other, this same fame threatens to tear them apart. London's characters leap off the page, and devoted pet parents will enjoy peeking into Camilla's spoiled life, which includes meetings with pet psychics and luxury groomers. It's a delightful start to a series that promises to be good fun.
