Naya
It's been a month since I left what happened in my past behind. I was looking for a new beginning, a new place to call home. And I found it in Springfield, Tennessee. But the guilt of leaving my sick papa behind, along with the stress of keeping my new veterinary clinic afloat, don't allow me to fully move on.
A new opportunity lands at my doorstep when I'm also offered a job as the new vet at the largest ranch in town. I accept, even though my client, Callan Hudson, is a grumpy and closed off rancher who knows exactly how to get under my skin. I'm supposed to hate him, but he somehow makes me feel safe, cherished, seen.
When my old life catches up to me, I find myself in danger again, which pushes me more and more into the arms of my new 'nemesis'. Eventually, I have to return to Raleigh, where I'm forced to face the demons of my past, causing me to question everything I thought I knew.
