Abandoned before her son was even born, Y/N Rosier has spent the last four years surviving for one person only — her little boy, Maddex. Between long shifts, unpaid bills, and sleepless nights, she’s learned not to expect help from anyone. Then one trip to the park changes everything. When two massive pitbulls come charging toward her and Maddex, Y/N prepares for disaster. Instead, the dogs quietly lay at their feet, calm and affectionate like they’ve known them forever. Their owner, twenty-five-year-old Marvolo Riddle, is just as shocked as everyone else. Because his dogs don’t trust strangers. They especially don’t trust men, women, or children this quickly. But for some reason, they choose Y/N and Maddex instantly — and after that day, Marvolo finds himself unable to stay away from the struggling single mother and her cheerful son. As unexpected encounters turn into late-night conversations, shared responsibilities, and fragile trust, Y/N begins to realize that maybe she doesn’t have to carry the world alone anymore. And maybe the first hearts to fall for her… belonged to the dogs.
