Sir Oliver Stanhope's beloved late great-aunt, who raised him so devotedly, has charged Oliver with the care of her adorable—but very naughty—Yorkshire terriers, Melchoir, Balthazar, and Gaspar. Thankfully, she's also arranged for D.K. Lawrence, celebrated dog trainer to the aristocracy, to help train the little terrors.
But when Diana K. Lawrence, once the love of Oliver's life, arrives on his doorstep with her giant Great Dane in tow, Oliver wonders how he'll survive the canine chaos and the too-close-for-comfort presence of the only woman to touch his heart...and he can't help but wonder if his aunt had something special in mind with her last, precious Christmas gift.
