Her landlady hates the dogs and she hates Abby. Fortunately, she doesn’t hate Max. Max’s rented house no longer allows dogs and Abby’s landlady jumps at the chance to find him a new place—preferably by her side. Abby must keep her rescue center open and train Max’s dogs. But will it be enough? Will Abby and Max get together by Christmas or will Abby’s landlady force them apart?
