DON’T FORGET THE DOG
By: Linda O’Connor
The Plot:
Blaine McKinnon, owner and execu-
tive chef of an upscale restaurant in Ma-
pleton, has an adorable Old English
sheepdog named Tacos. Semi-retired Dr.
Brogan Corkle is roped into dog-sitting
Tacos at Blaine‘s house. The upside is the
spectacular kitchen at her disposal.
Dr. Sabrina Langfield, a newly
minted doctor, is in a bind when her
mom, Rue, falls and fractures her wrist.
Brogan offers to help and does double-
duty looking after Tacos and Rue.
Blaine and Sabrina were high school sweethearts but parted
ways when Blaine pushed Sabrina to pursue a career. … Rue‘s
biggest regret is her part in Sabrina and Blaine‘s break-up, and
with Brogan‘s help, she‘s determined to get them back together.
Sabrina is wary of Tacos and, more pressing, she‘s decided to
move a four-hour flight away to do five more years of training
in emergency medicine.
An Excerpt
Blaine leaned against the wall. ―I take it you‘re still a plant-
based, vegan, health food nut.‖
Sabrina raised her chin. ―There‘s nothing wrong with choos-
ing foods wisely to optimize health, despite what my mother
thinks—or you, for that matter.‖
He stepped closer and brushed at the snow melting on her
neat ponytail. He could smell the perfume she wore. It took him
back eleven years, and he almost lost his train of thought.
―Eating for pleasure is just as important.‖
Sabrina stiffened at his touch. Her back was ramrod straight.
―Proper nutrition gives you the energy to enjoy what gives you
pleasure.‖
Her message and her body language read prim and proper,
but her husky voice was pure sex. His body responded, and he
leaned closer. ―What gives you pleasure these days?‖
She stopped him with a pointed finger jabbed into his chest
and raised her chin. ―Shouldn‘t the question be who is giving me
pleasure?‖
