Maxim Fuller wasn’t looking for anything when he snapped the perfect shot at a big dog show, but it threw him into the world of creative dog grooming as the top photographer. Max and his snorting little pug are just happy to be included in the elite world, but fate has other plans when Alix is thrown in his path. Alix Marcelle has worked hard to get where she is, and where she is, is the top. As the top creative groomer in the world, she and her standard poodle have an image to uphold and years more work ahead of them. What she’s not expecting is a fling at a grooming show to turn into a lifelong commitment. But that’s exactly what happens. When Max and Alix are thrown back together at a charity event the chemistry is just as compelling, but now there’s even more to bring them together.
