Guys & Dogs
by Elaine Fox

A GUY VS. A DOG One of them is affectionate, loving, and eternally loyal -- a companion for life who lives only to make you happy... Small-town veterinarian Megan Rose doesn't usually wake up next to strangers. But this morning she finds one sleeping in her bed. Unfortunately, "Baywatch" a stray puppy, doesn't belong at the address on her tags, either: the mansion of Sutter Foley, millionaire software mogul and six fabulous feet of gorgeous, eligible male. Sutter doesn't even like dogs. He does, however, like the sexy, spunky vet who's trying to saddle him with a pooch. The animal magnetism they share is intense, but so is the spotlight in which Sutter lives. Can Megan stand the heat? Though her outspoken ways make a lot of waves in Sutter's goldfish-bowl world, he's never enjoyed life so much. Could she be the trustworthy companion he's been looking for . . . or should he stick with the dog? It's the old story: girl meets dog . . . girl and dog meet guy . . . guy loses girl, gets dog . . . Or will there be a frisky new twist to this puppy's tale?



Elaine Fox's Bio

I’ve always been a fan of playing — which probably explains my career choice. Playing with words, with stories, with people — make that characters — is one of my favorite things to do. But when I’m not playing God and altering the course of true love for various and sundry individuals I’ve made up, I’m usually doing something fun. Tennis is one of my favorite pastimes, though it does often depend on who’s on the other side of the net. Somebody I can beat is good, though not too easily nor too often. Skiing is another passion, though it took a hit on my list of favorites a few years ago when I caught a tip and ended up tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in my right knee. Knee surgery was great for ensuring a lot of reading time — not to mention catching up on DVD watching; seven seasons of Buffy, anyone? — but it seriously compromised my tennis game. When I want to be alone, though, there’s nothing better than hopping in the kayak and paddling down river. I live very close the the Potomac River and can drop in right next to Roosevelt Island in D.C. From there I can paddle past the Georgetown waterfront, the Kennedy Center, even the Lincoln Memorial! And if I want to go a little farther afield, the C&O Canal is only half an hour away. All of those things take a back seat to writing, however, though the adventures I find in my playtime often end up in my books! (Watch for that slopeside EMT novel, complete with toboggan-stretcher ride to the bottom of the mountain, that I’m sure is in my future.)
