Description
Silver Medal Winner - 2020 Florida Book Awards honoring the best of Florida's literature
Teen and Young Adult Contemporary Romance - Enemies-to-Lovers
A video of Kendall's harrowing rescue of an abused pit bull from the path of an oncoming train goes viral. Suddenly, everyone wants a piece of Kendall, making her social anxiety worse. But this is an opportunity to put the rescue in the spotlight and secure the donations needed to save it.
Delray Dog Rescue doesn't just rescue dogs, it's a second chance for felons, like her dad. Losing the rescue means losing Kendall's home, her sanctuary, the dogs she loves, her identity, and her dad, all over again.
Ryan, the new volunteer, soon becomes her best friend and worst enemy. His good looks and charm rattle her social awkwardness and threaten to dissolve all of her mental health progress. However, he also proves to be a much needed asset once she discovers the wicked truth lurking in her small town.
The pit bull's rescue has uncovered a sinister underworld, and now it's not only the dogs' lives that are in danger. Death threats and vandalism try to stop teen slueths, Kendall and Ryan, but they'll stop at nothing to save the rescued canines.
For fans of teen & young adult fiction such as What to Say Next, Fangirl, & Hot Dog Girl or fans of the show Pit Bulls and Parolees.
