After a stint in the military, Pamela Miller is content with her IT job and her quiet calm life, until she inherits a ranch in Harland County, along with all the livestock and surprises that come with it—including a mischievous goat with a penchant for swallowing the most embarrassing things. Unsure whether to sell or stay, she decides to “live in Aunt Millie’s boots” for a while, and that decision has nothing to do with her encounters with the super-hot veterinarian who owns the ranch next door.

Animals were Dr. Sawyer Kirkland’s salvation during his troubled teens and their care and welfare is now his number one priority. He’s too busy, too committed to his work to worry about love and marriage. Been there. Done that. No thanks. He has a dog for companionship and doesn’t need a woman, but each time his sexy new neighbor walks into his clinic with an animal in need, he feels the wall he built around his heart start to crack.

As Sawyer and Pam deal with x-rays, escaping llamas, and a goat cam that leads to a hidden stash of risqué items, realizing killer chemistry isn’t the only thing they have in common has Sawyer rethinking his priorities.
