Worst in Show

Best in Show meets You've Got Mail in this rivals-to-lovers romcom following a woman ready to do whatever it takes to save her grandpa's shop-even if that means training a wild pup for a dog show, side-by-side with her greatest rival.

Aspiring fashion designer Cora Lewis should have known better. Entering her grandpa's extremely adorable-and totally unruly-pups in a dog show? What was she thinking? Oh, right. Her grandpa is injured, his beloved pet shop is losing the fight against the upscale dog boutique across the street, and his business and home are on the line. She needs that prize money to save the day-and if the only way to win is to train with her strongest adversary, then she'll suck it up and ask for help.

Rival store owner Leo Salinger is everything Cora is not: successful, wealthy, and overly ambitious. She would never guess that he is also the kind and witty pen pal she's met on a local message board. But somewhere between teaching pups to heel, fetch, and stay, Cora and Leo are finding a little competition can ignite a serious attraction. Can they stop this sexy spark . . . before all her dreams go to the dogs?
