For Keeps

Casey Carmichael is an animal trainer who understands that , in his line of work, a man who is not in control doesn't last long. He rescues animals, he trains them for useful jobs, and then he moves on. He has only one rule: he doesn't get attached. But when he meets Lynn Sanders, he knows he's about to break all the rules... even his own.Lynn Sanders came to Florida to rest and recover from a traumatic incident in her past. She does not want to work, she does not want to worry, and most of all she does not want to get involved— with her sister's pet -sitting business, with a cowardly, traumatized dog who needs her almost as much as she needs him, and most of all, with Casey Carmichael and his zoo. But love has a way of changing everything, and this time, it just might be for keeps.
