After a tumultuous childhood, Harper Sims left her hometown and never looked back. She's a partner in a successful veterinary practice and loves everything about her job and the big city life she leads with her teenage daughter.

Addison Foster had big dreams, but life hasn't turned out the way she'd planned. Working as a veterinary assistant in a rural clinic gives her the chance to raise her daughter surrounded by the people she loves, but it's not easy to be honest about who she really is and what she really wants in a small town.

When Harper's father becomes ill, she whirls into town to run the clinic, and sparks fly between her and Addison in more ways than one. Their attraction is undeniable, but Addison isn't ready to admit her desires, and Harper isn't sure if she's willing to stay.

Home may be where the heart is, but is the journey back worth the pain?
