need to work
    on training her to understand your commands. And you’re going
    to have to do it without yeling at her.” She shot him a hard look.
    “Ever again.”
    He would agree with whatever Heather said just as long as
    she stayed long enough for him to convince her to give him a
    chance. He couldn’t remember ever wanting a woman this bad,
    this fast.
    “Hey Chase,” he told his brother, “I’ve got to cal off the
    shoot.”
    The models looked at his brother in confusion and Chase
    told them to take five before saying, “Chloe is going to have the
    baby any day now, and then I’m out of commission for a while.
    You sure you want to reschedule?”
    Despite her ongoing protests that she was fine, Zach was
    already kneeling in front of Heather and gently wiping at the open
    skin on her knee with an antiseptic wipe from a nearby First Aid
    kit.
    “I’ve got to clear my schedule for puppy training.”
    “Seriously?” Heather blinked at him like he was driving on

    “Seriously?” Heather blinked at him like he was driving on
    three wheels. “That’s why you’re sending everyone home? Isn’t
    your boss going to be mad?”
    “Agnes didn’t mention my last name, did she?”
    Her eyes widened with disbelief as she looked from him to
    the sign on the wal, then back again. “You’re the Sulivan in
    Sulivan Autos? This is your garage?”
    “Don’t worry, I know cars a lot better than I know dogs.”
    But he knew women best of al. And, he thought as he slid
    a Band-Aid strip over her left knee, he couldn’t wait to get his
    hands on more than Heather’s knees. Because even as he
    cleaned and bandaged her cuts, her skin was so warm, so soft,
    so responsive to his touch.
    After he slid another Band-Aid strip over her silky smooth
    skin, he held out his arms. “Now that the shoot’s off, I’m al
    yours to train.”
    Most women would have been pleased by the sensual
    undertones in his words, or would at least have blushed, but she
    simply glared at him with icy cool eyes.
    Cuddles yawned and curled closer into her chest. What
    Zach wouldn’t do to be where the puppy was.
    She shifted her legs out of his reach. “You can’t cancel
    your photo shoot. You’l lose too much money.” She stood up
    and grabbed her dog’s leash again. “Atlas, it’s time to go.”
    Damn it, she was going to leave. Panic gripped him, even
    though he’d only just met her, even though he could easily find
    another woman to have sex with. “Heather — ”

    another woman to have sex with. “Heather — ”
    She frowned as she looked down at where he was stil
    kneeling on the cement floor. “Since you can’t keep Cuddles
    here while you’re — ” She paused to look at the models chain
    smoking and talking on their cel phones in the parking lot. “ —
    working , I’l take her to my office. When she wakes up, she can
    play with Atlas until you get there for our first session.”
    She told him the address, then made a clicking sound that
    had her huge dog folowing her out of the garage with an adoring
    look on his furry face.
    Zach understood exactly how the dog felt. One sign from
    her and he’d happily do the same thing.
    His brother moved beside him and, together, they watched
    Heather leave, her long braid swinging behind her, her legs
    strong and tanned in her shorts.
    “Who’s that?”
    Zach grinned. “My new dog trainer.”
    And, hopefuly, a hel of a lot more than that real soon.

Chapter Three
    The afternoon sun was streaming in through Heather’s
    office window as she finaly hung up her phone. Rubbing the
    back of her neck with both hands, she stretched the tight
    muscles. If she’d known it was going to be this much work to
    head up the fundraising committee for the San Francisco animal
    shelter or just how hard it would be to convince potential donors

    shelter or just how hard it would be to convince potential donors
    to give to their worthy cause...
    Wel, she would have signed up for the job anyway. But
