Love Me Tender, Love Me True

Can an Elvis-obsessed puppy-sitter and an uptight museum owner tackle a summer bucket list without falling in love?
When Juliana Romano agrees to dogsit a puppy in Hudson Springs, New York, she hopes it will help her forget the painful memories she left behind in Portugal. Then she finds a stranger skinny-dipping in the pool and she calls the cops on him, only to discover he owns the house and she's the intruder. He agrees to let her stay and continue her puppy-sitting job-as long as she keeps to herself. At the suggestion of family friends, Juliana makes a summer bucket-list, knowing it's the distraction she needs before she goes home. Matt Garrison is home for the summer after failing to secure funding for the museum he owns. Forced to close for the foreseeable future, he only wants to be left alone to research plans for reopening. But sharing his house with a Portuguese woman and a puppy is the farthest from peace and quiet he can get-between her early morning obsession with Elvis Presley music, the puppy's chewing of his belongings, and the meddling of old ladies, Matt finds himself smothered in company. As Matt reluctantly joins Juliana in carrying out the items on her list, he realizes his first impression of her is all wrong. The more time Juliana spends with Matt, the less interested she is to return home. Is the attraction they feel only temporary or are they willing to work for a happy-ever-after?
