A hometown cowboy. A wounded heart. A vet with everything to prove.

Dr. Bellamy Norris is back in Red Stone hoping to step into her grandfather’s veterinary practice and show the town she’s more than “the girl from the university.” Just one problem: the ranchers won’t trust her with their herds. And when she spots signs of an outbreak that could devastate the valley’s breeding season, nobody wants to listen.

Nobody except Caleb Silver.

The search-and-rescue deputy is home with a broken wrist, a heart full of guilt, and his late best friend’s grieving border collie. He has six weeks to heal and one goal: get back to Kalispell and the only work that still makes sense.

So they strike a deal. He’ll help her win over the ranchers. She’ll help him and Bowie find their footing. Strictly business.

But the outbreak is spreading. Kalispell wants Caleb back. Red Stone wants him to run for sheriff. And the longer he stays, the harder it is to remember why he ever left.

Falling for her was never the plan. Leaving her might be impossible.

A sweet, faith-filled cowboy romance for readers who love hometown heroes, small-town vets, wounded hearts, and one very good dog.
