police officer, Bastian \u2018Baz\u2019 Haywood. After a short first date leaves them in a likely never-to-be-seen-again status, he and his partner get a call that brings him face-to-face with the girl he ghosted. Tinsley wasn\u2019t ready to reunite with Baz, but she\u2019s even less prepared to meet his best friend and partner, Hunter Shaw.<\/p>\n<p>Tinsley, her bestie Brindle, and goofy but loveable pooch, Harvey, quickly become fans of the undeniably handsome Officer Shaw. What they don\u2019t realize is that Shaw is a man transformed by a haunted past, struggling to find his way back to the light. He relies on his friendship with Baz and a morally questionable secret side job to pull him through each day. Not really looking or ready for love, he\u2019s left smitten after meeting the gorgeous victim of his best friend\u2019s ghosting ways.<\/p>\n<p>On the outside, Tinsley has it all\u2014beauty, a glowing personality, successful salon, an insufferably sassy BFF, and the four-legged light of her life.
