Georgie Crane has a lot on, and it's all a bit close to home.There are dognappers in the neighbourhood. stealing family pets for ransom. Worse, organised dog-fights are escalating, bringing DI Matt Turnbull, and all those long-forgotten feelings, back into Georgie's life. Add in her waste-of-space brothers, autocratic cat-loving mother, and the urgent hunt for an assistant who speaks fluent Dog, and it's small wonder there's no time for a romance which might or might not have a future. Will Matt's newly-formed Cani-Crime team (aided by Brends, urban guerilla dog-saviour) bring down the dog-fighters? Will three resourceful kids and an ancient, curmudgeonly Chow be enough to nab the dognappers? And will Georgie finally take Matt upstairs to see her rosettes?
