Puppy Love and Mistletoe - Happiness in Hallburg, #1

When Hallburg city employee Amelia Dunford returns a missing dog to his owner, handsome consultant Scott Graham, she is drawn to him and his love for the little girl for whom he is a guardian. But Amelia's bad childhood experience makes her afraid of dogs, and Scott has joined the mayor's task force in charge of trimming the town's budget-two red flags that warn her away. Amelia's warm nature captivates Scott, but he believes his PTSD makes him too flawed for a relationship.
Besides, they are on opposite sides of the town's budget battle, and mixing business with a relationship could spell disaster. Can a little girl and a fluffy black dog bring Amelia and Scott together in a Christmas miracle?
