About this Item

Letting someone in is a tall order for two men who can't trust themselves. Air Force sergeant Michael Baldwin wanted nothing more than to escape his family's political ambitions, but his dream of freedom was shattered by an enemy bullet to the head. Two years later, he and his service dog, Kaylee, resist his father's demand to join him on the campaign trail -- where a photogenic wounded warrior is always an asset -- and instead return to the family's summer home on Hartsbridge Island. There Michael and his beautiful German shepherd capture the attention of Josh Goldberg, co-owner of the local bagel shop. Josh has a knack for business and a killer repertoire of his bubbe's recipes. But lack of education undermines his confidence, and Josh's father doesn't share his ambition for the restaurant's future. Chicken soup and bacon might be the way to Michael's heart, but he and Josh need time to learn about everything that comes after -- lessons that Governor Baldwin and his relentless ambition will do anything to thwart. Letting someone in is a tall order for two men who can't trust themselves, but if they have any hope of a future together, that's exactly what they'll need to do.

About this title

Synopsis

Air Force sergeant Michael Baldwin wanted nothing more than to escape his family’s political ambitions, but his dream of freedom was shattered by an enemy bullet to the head. Two years later, he and his service dog Kaylee resist his father’s demand to join him on the campaign trail—where a photogenic “wounded warrior” is always an asset—and instead return to the family’s summer home on Hartsbridge Island.

There Michael and his beautiful German shepherd capture the attention of Josh Goldberg, co-owner of the local bagel shop. Josh has a knack for business and a killer repertoire of his bubbe’s recipes. But lack of education undermines his confidence, and Josh’s father doesn’t share his ambition for the restaurant’s future.

Chicken soup and bacon might be the way to Michael’s heart, but he and Josh need time to learn about everything that comes after—lessons that Governor Baldwin and his relentless ambition will do anything to thwart. Letting someone in is a tall order for two men who can’t trust themselves, but if they have any hope of a future together, that’s exactly what they’ll need to do.
