After two divorces, Sandi Walker, entrepreneur extraordinaire, is on her own and loving it. As a devout animal lover, she has made a success of the only gourmet pet food bakery in Midland, Texas. She's also a pet foster parent with fifteen assorted abused and unwanted animals at home. When a golden-colored stray dog with an abundance of personality appears at her door, she can't refuse him and she can't keep from falling in love with him. She names him Waffle and gives him a permanent home. General Manager of the Flying C Ranch, Nick Conway, has searched for months for his lost dog, Buster. He looks for a new dog and finds a puppy at a pet grooming shop. There he also encounters a beautiful redhead he can't put out of his mind. Little does he know that she found Buster in an alley and has claimed him as her own. Sparks fly when Sandi refuses to return Buster to him. He hires a lawyer and sues her for custody. It will take a sitting judge, a mouthy parrot, the matchmaking of the Domestic Equalizers and Cupid himself to resolve this conflict.
