Some relationships begin with sparks.
This one begins with a dog.
After a brutal night shift, Elena Reyes finds a stray behind a hospital dumpster—scruffy, scared, and heartbreakingly determined to survive. She does the responsible thing and takes him to the shelter.
Unfortunately, the shelter makes a mistake.
Now Elena and Evan—an unexpectedly kind middle school teacher with a notebook full of rules—are both listed as the dog’s temporary fosters. Until someone adopts him.
Temporary, they agree.
They share custody.
They share schedules.
They share a dog who is far too good at emotional manipulation.
What they do not agree to share is their carefully guarded hearts.
Elena has spent years choosing safety over risk, convinced that needing someone means losing herself. Evan believes love doesn’t have to be heavy to be real. As their lives quietly intertwine—through coffee handoffs, accidental dates, and one very loyal dog—both must decide whether protecting themselves is worth the loneliness it costs.When the dog finally finds a forever home, Elena and Evan are forced to face the question they’ve been avoiding:What if the thing you’re afraid of wanting… is exactly what you need?
