The Happy Ever After Playlist

Sloan Monroe is an artist whose life refuses to settle into any kind of order. Then a troublemaking puppy jumps into her car as if he has already decided where he lives. She names him Tucker, and having him around makes her feel more like herself again.

Weeks later, a man writes to say Tucker is his. Jason is a musician currently on tour in Australia, and after a long stretch of unanswered texts from Sloan's side of the story, he wants his dog back. Sloan has no intention of handing Tucker over without a fight, though she has to admit Jason might truly love the dog.

The argument over custody turns into flirting by text, and the texts grow into long phone calls. Sloan can't deny the pull. Jason comes across as hot, kind and funny, and nobody knows what will happen when the two finally meet face to face.

This is a romantic comedy with a dog at the center and a wounded heart underneath. The stakes are plain: Jason's music career is rising, and Sloan has to decide whether she can survive another heartbreak if he doesn't stay. Expect banter, warmth and a love story that develops at a distance first.
