Tyler Anne. The Accidental Tourist

Meet Macon Leary — a travel writer who hates both travel and strangeness. Grounded by loneliness, comfort, and a somewhat odd domestic life, Macon is about to embark on a surprising new adventure, arriving in the form of a fuzzy-haired dog obedience trainer who promises to turn his life around.Luminous, tone-perfect, and probably her best to date. A delicate sounding of the odd and accidental incursions of the heart.
