Keenan James has made a career out of teaching women what men really want. He hosts a weekly roundtable, where he offers advice to the love-lorn, and now he''s even been tapped to write a book—though he''s never been able to commit to just one girl. Unfortunately, he''s recently been saddled with his mom''s irrepressible pooch, a golden doodle named Barbra Streisand, and his publisher has saddled him with a co-writer—a shy psychologist named Tory Hoffstra, who''s determined to keep him on a short leash.

Suspecting that Keenan''s nothing but a hound, Tory joins the round-table under an alias. She''s shocked that he''s more than just a smooth-talking seducer . . . and that he''s even more gorgeous than she had heard. As for Keenan, before long he finds himself warming up to Barbra the dog and feeling the heat with Tory . . . and learning that not even his own advice could have prepared him for finally falling in love.
