Me Before Lou (ePub)

Forgery is an art. Love is calculated.

Millie doesn't color outside the lines.

But when her badge-boasting ex-boyfriend hires her bestie to dogsit the hound that used to be theirs, law and order goes right out the window. Day one and there's a pricey painting, the new girlfriend, and Millie's spotless criminal record on the line.

With less than two weeks before Detective Do-No-Wrong is due home, Millie finds herself sacrificing good money and better manners to hire a stranger off the internet who has less-than-moral skills in art replication.

What she doesn't realize is that her walk on the wrong side of the law looks a lot like a hot date with a wanted man.

Can the unlikely duo navigate their legal limbo and keep everyone out of the doghouse? Or will the mischievous hound who brought them together have to teach them a lesson in how to get away with bad behavior?
