Margot Blake runs her mornings with surgical leash in one hand, matcha in the other, and exactly fifteen minutes to stride the quiet streets before diving into cosmetic crises. But schedule‑shattering chaos arrives on four lanky legs when her greyhound, Paulie, spots a squirrel and rockets straight into Officer Dean Rizzo, detonating a cup of espresso across his uniform. One mortified apology, a flustered dermatologist, and a surprisingly charming cop later, Margot’s orderly life begins to fray in the most inconveniently delightful ways. “Love Under the Surface” is the meet‑cute your TBR stack didn’t know it razor‑sharp banter, a retired runway‑model dog with attitude, and a heroine whose polished poise faces Yelp‑obsessed divas and unexpected sparks. If you crave slow‑burn chemistry, whip‑smart humor, and pets who steal the spotlight, dive in, because love, caffeine, and a dash of dermatological drama are about to collide.
