Maybe.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarter Embree has always hoped to be rescued from his productive, tragically boring, and (slightly) ethically compromised life. But when an urchin at a grocery store shoves a bundle of fluff into his hands, Carter goes from rescuee to rescuer--and he needs a little help.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSandy Corrigan, the vet tech who helps ease Carter into the world of dog ownership, first assumes that Carter is a crazy-pants client who just needs to relax. But as Sandy gets a glimpse into the funny, kind, sexy man under Carter's mild-mannered exterior, he sees that with a little care and feeding, Carter might be Super-Pet Owner--and decent boyfriend material to boot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Carter needs to see himself as a hero first. As he says good-bye to his pristine house and hello to carpet treatments and dog walkers, he finds that there really is more to himself than a researching drudge without a backbone. A Carter Embree can rate a Sandy Corrigan. He can be supportive, he can be a hero, he can be a man who stands up for his principles!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe can be the owner of a small dog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* * * * * * *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePUBLISHER'S NOTE: Twenty percent of proceeds from this title will be donated to The Trevor Project.","brand":"Riptide Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103746801904,"sku":"2940156932795","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940156932795_p0.jpg?v=1764089741","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940156932795","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
