Can you ever really forget the one who got away?

August Merriweather has always been good with animals. In fact, she's known as Manhattan's Dog Whisperer. Men, on the other hand? Not so much. She's been falling for the wrong guys ever since her regrettable crush on Keaton Sax, older brother of her best friend, Leah, and the biggest jerkface this side of the Hudson.

Now an emotionally closed off widower, Keaton has become one of the most formidable men on Wall Street, but August knows his secret. He's not driven by sales targets and bonus checks--Keaton just wants to give his family the security they never had. So when Leah asks Keaton to wrangle her over-the-top, dramatic husky at a weekend talent competition, Keaton says yes...and begs August to help him win the event for Leah.

Between obstacle courses, Molly's husky temper tantrums and a cabin with just one bed, August is having a blast. Away from the pressure to have a "perfect life" with the "right guy," she finds herself relaxing and getting to see the softer side of the man she once loved. Is this just a temporary truce? Or could Keaton finally be the right guy at the right time?
