13 Romantic Books With Reluctant Heroes Who Are No Match For Love

In Playing for Keeps by Jill Shalvis, Caleb and Sadie have always been like oil and water, but one stormy night, they accidentally co-rescue an abandoned dog. Caleb's reluctant to share his heart under any circumstances, especially to a vulnerable puppy and an equally vulnerable woman, both of whom tug on the heartstrings he'd thought he'd severed long ago. But when he somehow ends up with joint custody of the dog with Sadie, little does he know it will change everything.
