Riley Jennings spends most of her time rescuing and caring for animals, leaving no time for love. When Blake Taylor moves to town and is charged with starting a pet therapy program for the local nursing home, he turns to Riley for assistance. When Riley finally begins to let her guard down, she’s blindsided by a secret from Blake’s past. Can he find a way to regain her trust? Or is their chance at love gone forever?

A cookbook author down on her luck. A cattle rancher trying to save the family business. Could starring in a Pioneer Woman-like series on a local TV station solve all their problems? Too bad they can't stand each other.

She’s a widow with a toddler. He’s certain he never wants a family. It’s a safe combination for a faux romance until the sparks fly.
