Handsome, efficiency-expert Julian Lord lives an orderly existence. And that means living by a set of unbreakable rules. Following the death of his great-aunt Maudie, Julian must return to his childhood home at Willow's End in order to settle her estate. Unfortunately, the chaos that ensues breaks every last rule and turns orderly into mayhem.
First there's Maudie's young and beautiful caretaker, Callie. Ms. Disorganization herself, couldn't say "no" to all the demanding people surrounding her if her life depended on it. Then there's Brutus, Callie's 200-pound St. Bernard, who thinks he's human. Not to mention his aunt's two juvenile delinquent fosters bent on tearing apart her house in search of her missing will.
While Julian attempts to tame the juvenile delinquents, explain to Brutus that he's just a dog (despite evidence to the contrary), and instill rules and order on the crazy household, Callie is dedicated to un-taming him, proving Brutus is as human as the rest of them, and breaking each and every rule.
Then there's the small issue of the two falling deeply, crazily, madly in love!
Of course, no one can tame Brutus. Watching all the craziness come together is simply too fascinating for the humongous beast, especially since he knows exactly where the will is hidden.
Too bad the old boy isn't talking . . . !
