The Dog Between Us
Dyanne Gordon Green

After returning from a six-month mission trip, Cassie Reynolds has come to a fork in the road. She’s dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but the experience abroad has left her questioning her future. To give herself some time, she takes a temporary position at an attorney’s office—the same one her ex-high school sweetheart, Will Thompson, and his family use.
When Will is named executor of his favorite aunt’s estate, he comes face-to-face with his ex-girlfriend and his biggest fear. Cassie Reynolds was the love of his life—still is, but his fear of dogs is an obstacle he can’t seem to get over and the reason they broke up in the first place.
Now, Will and Cassie have to work together to fulfill his aunt’s last wishes before the Christmas Day deadline. Does fear tear them apart again or will love finally conquer all?
This is a novella-length story first published in Christmas Anthology.
