Grumpy Liam Reynolds and sunshiny Nico Vasquez, meet at the animal shelter they both volunteer for. At first Liam can't stand Nico and his bubbly personality. But the more time Liam spends with Nico the more he can't contain his feelings and soon he has to admit that Nico Vasquez has gotten under his skin. But there's just one problem; both aren't out as gay and the animal shelter's boss has a strict policy to not mix pleasure with business.
