Not My Dog Walker, Reimagined: A Frenemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy

Honest, I thought I was saving Jex from a life of questionable career choices. That’s kind of what I do: I’m an overachieving marketing consultant with boundary issues, and my apartment is craving some peace and quiet—nothing like minding my own business to keep my life drama-free.

Jex Wise needs to forgive and forget.

Have you seen how gorgeous he got?

Annoyingly hot and unfairly charming.

The word “revenge” doesn’t do his motives justice, though, when he shows up at my door with a stolen dog and a sob story about his sister’s divorce.

Just FYI, the exact wrong thing to do in that situation is to agree to hide your boss’s prized show dog in your one-bedroom apartment.

As the overworked employee of Mr. Creepy McWandering-Eyes himself, what else do you expect me to do when my ex-crush needs a hideout for the world’s most high-maintenance pet?

No, I am not harboring a stolen animal or falling for the guy I sabotaged ten years ago. Believe me, my student loans and I are very happy to stay employed and emotionally unavailable.

And to keep my heart safely locked away from Jex’s annoyingly perfect smile.

I am a career woman on a mission.

Not signing up for professional makeovers, gross taco contests, and surprise veterinary emergencies. Only complication?

Jex has been planning this reunion all along.

And I don’t know if there’s enough wine in San Francisco to survive falling for him again.
