A sunshine-meets-grumpy small-town romcom with one very good boy, zero angst you can't handle, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Perfect for fans of dog-dad heroes, meet-cute disasters, and found family.
He says the dog is his.
I have the adoption papers.
The shelter says… we both get him.
I, Linda Rodriguez, third-grade teacher and certified sunshine enthusiast, came to the shelter for one thing: my happily-ever-after golden retriever. Matching Pineapple bandanas. A cozy little life for two.
What I got was Jax Duncan.
Six feet of leather jacket, motorcycle rumble, and attitude, informing me, in the shelter parking lot, over a burst bag of kibble, that Max is HIS dog. There was a paperwork mix-up. A very inconvenient one.
Now we're sharing custody.
Alternating days. Text updates. Coffee-shop handoffs where he smirks at my artisanal treats and I pretend I'm not noticing his arms. It's temporary. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely, definitely not going to end with me falling for the grumpiest mechanic in town.
Except Max keeps engineering "accidental" overlaps. Jax keeps showing up when I need him. And somewhere between the sidecar goggles and the stress-baking, I'm starting to wonder if the real arrangement isn't about the dog at all…
