Meredith Champlin, the newly appointed guardian of an unruly “Beverly Hills brat,” decamps from her settled existence in Wyoming with her charge and her Welsh Corgi to spend the summer with her English relatives at Barton Hall, a shabby-chic castle perched on the remote cliffs of UK’s West Country.
Meredith’s summer escape gets even more complicated when former British Army Lieutenant Sebastian Pryce, veteran of a bomb- sniffing K9 squad in Afghanistan, proposes they join forces to found the Barton Hall Canine Obedience Academy, along with signing her up for his volunteer rough-and-ready Cornwall Search and Rescue Team.
Even with an assist from a novice search dog named T-Rex, the odds seem long that a mere three months in the land of Meredith’s Cornish ancestors can transform her troubled ward into a happier child, heal the wounds suffered by her soldier-turned-significant-other, and save the Barton-Teague estate from pending disaster.
