Ava Lawrence, a research veterinarian, is thrown in the deep end when her uncle asks her to cover his country practice while he has a vacation of a lifetime. How could she refuse?
His team shouldn't be any different than the crew at her parents' practice, oh, was she so wrong. The senior vet nurse, Jackie, sassy and smart, with big-time girlfriend issues. Receptionist Pam, obnoxious to everyone but the wealthy clients. Sweet general assistant Jerry, who works magic with animals. Humans, hmm, a social challenge.
That left the patients, or at least their owners. They were a whole other story.
Ava finds herself embroiled in not only taking care of animals in the area but local issues outside her experience which make her question her sanity. Two women show her she is missing one of the most wonderful things in life—sharing her life with someone and allowing love into her life.
Throw in chickens, cats, and dogs. Along with Theo the donkey, and this turns out to be Ava's unexpected adventure with far reaching romantic benefits.
