From back cover:
For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom-from the ex-husband, freedom from their stuffy suburban home, freedome to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed - a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy. Instead she gets... Fred.

Overweight, middle aged, a bit smelly and obviously depressed, Fred is light-years from perky. But he does manage to put Nina in the path of Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger-by-a-decade neighbor.

Alex seems perfect-he's sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor-but the age gap convinces Nina that anyone but Alex would be better relationship material. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young dog-loving doc she wants to sit and stay!
