Home Is Where Your Bark Is by Debbie Burns

Love means learning to trust again.

Jake Stiles has no idea what he’s signing up for when he dashes into the rain to help a stranger and her dog who have been in a car accident, but fate has stepped in. Jenna Dunning was on her way to return her sister’s high-energy border collie to a shelter after another failed attempt at a forever home for him when a distracted driver ran into them. Jenna is being taken to the hospital and must rely on a caring stranger to take charge of the terrified canine.
When Jake and Jenna reconnect, Jenna’s delighted to learn Jake has taken on fostering the poorly trained border collie, who they name Seven because this will be his seventh chance at being adopted. Jake’s not looking for a relationship—he just ended a disastrous one—but he realizes Jenna may be the key to making Seven’s fostering successful. The timing might be all wrong, but as they grow close, he has to admit that he’s falling in love.
