He Never Liked Dogs - Hardcover

by Gladdie Deane (Author)

Hattie Brown's happily waved goodbye to the days of helping Mama train dogs in a small Southern coastal town. Once a brainy kid with few friends, Hattie's riding the wave of success with a Harvard degree and a career as an investment banker at a prominent Boston firm.

Her social life is quite another matter, especially when her best friend Ellie Reade moves to Paris. Hattie's loneliness escalates with the death of her mother and grandmother, and she throws herself into her work, quickly becoming the firm's corporate star.

When Hattie crosses paths with one of Boston's most eligible bachelors, Asher Sinclaire, things start looking up. Asher falls for Hattie's innocence and natural beauty. Her high-powered, well-paying job feeds Asher's hungry ego-and helps with his money problems. A surprise marriage proposal has Hattie's heart racing and her left ring finger sporting a two-carat diamond ring.

Despite funding her husband's fledgling business, the honeymoon period comes to a screeching halt as Hattie discovers Asher believes their marriage is a huge mistake. Hattie suddenly finds herself back to where she started, learning sometimes you have to lose everything to discover what is truly important.
