Bad Dog by Jamie Knight

Sam: He’s not mine, I’m just holding him for a friend…
Why can’t I tell her the truth?
When I agreed to take in my friend’s puppy, Benny, for a little while, I thought it would be simple.
But it turns out taking care of the little scamp takes more than I anticipated.
So when he falls ill under my care, I rush him to the vet.
Drop-dead-gorgeous Ronda.
Once I lay eyes on her, the dogs aren’t the only ones drooling.
I’m not normally one to get tripped up talking to an attractive woman, but Ronda leaves me tongue-tied,
And somehow I accidentally claim that Benny’s my own dog.
But it lands me a date-well, a _play_date, with the smoking hot vet and her own dog.
When Benny has to go back to his family, will I lose Ronda, too?
I think this girl’s already got my heart on a leash…

Ronda: Open mouth, insert foot…
What have I gotten myself into?
It’s not news that I’m not great with people.
It’s a big part of the reason I love working with animals.
But when a ridiculously hot guy comes in with a cute puppy,
My social awkwardness bites me harder than a patient ever has.
So now, I have a doggie playdate.
Just me, super-hot Sam, his adorable puppy…and my dog.
Who doesn’t exist.
I know I shouldn’t have lied,
But will our budding relationship end up tattered as a chew toy?
Or is this more than just a case of puppy love?
