From the author of The Foolâs Tale and I, Iago comes a disarmingly charming and warm-hearted âromcomâ about a woman, her dog, and the man who has to prove that he is good enough for both of them.
Sara Renault fired Rory OâConnor from his part-time job at a Boston art museum, and in response, Roryâan Irish actor secretly nursing a crush on his beautiful bossâthrew caution to the wind, leaned over, and kissed her. Now Sara and Rory are madly in love.
When Roryâs visa runs out on the cusp of his big Hollywood break, Sara insists that he marry her to get a green card. In a matter of weeks theyâve gone from being friendly work colleagues to a live-in couple, and itâs all grand . . . except for Saraâs dog, Cody, who had been a gift from Saraâs sociopath ex-boyfriend. Saraâs over-attachment to her dog is the only thing she and Rory fight about.
When Rory scores both his green card and the lead role in an upcoming TV pilot, he and Sara (and Cody) prepare to move to Los Angeles. But just before their departure, Cody is kidnapped by Saraâs exâand it is entirely Roryâs fault. Sara is furious and broken-hearted. Desperate to get back into Saraâs good graces, Rory takes off and tracks Cody and the dog-napper to North Carolina. Can Rory rescue Cody and convince Sara that they belong togetherâwith Codyâas a family? First theyâll need to survive a madcap adventure that takes them all across the heartland of America.
Stepdog is a refreshing and hilarious romantic comedy that asks: How far would you go for the one you love?
