Text in Show by Whitney Dineen & Melanie Summers

My name is Autumn Jones, and I just completed my master’s degree in Sociology—or as my mom calls it, ‘people watching.’ My dream is to go to Columbia to get my PhD. The only problem is that I’m totally broke, and New York City is bonkers expensive.

That’s why it’s a godsend when my older sister, Helen, offers to let me stay in her massive brownstone in Manhattan. Of course, the offer doesn’t come without strings. I have to help her coordinate the world’s most bizarre dog show. Seriously, it’s nuts.

I quickly find myself thrown into the crazy world of totally bored, highly-competitive rich women who will do anything to win the coveted title of Best in Show for their pampered pooches.

The only bright spot might be working with Jack Campbell (seriously, he has to be America’s hottest veterinarian). He would totally be my dream man if it weren’t for one annoying thing: it not long before he treats me like gum he scraped off his shoe.

With my haughty sister breathing down my neck, and a high-strung poodle (Celine Dion, if you can believe it) following me everywhere I go, I don’t have time to worry about what bug crawled up Jack’s butt.

Except, let’s be honest, I am worrying because every time we’re together, I’m drawn to him like a tick to a dog’s hindleg. Just as the show is kicking off, I find out Jack’s secret and realize there’s been a horrible mix-up.

Could Jack and I have a future after all, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
