I came home to save the cattle. I never expected to fall for the one man who's hated my family for years.

When my father called -- desperate, defeated, and asking for help -- I almost didn't answer. We haven't spoken much since I left our small town to build a career as a livestock vet specializing in infectious diseases. But a cattle outbreak threatens not only his ranch, but the entire community, and despite our rocky history, I couldn't say no.

I thought I'd be in and out -- diagnose the problem, offer a treatment plan, and leave. What I didn't count on was Wade Callahan. Rugged, no-nonsense, and a single dad, Wade runs the most successful ranch in the county -- and he's never forgiven my family for what happened years ago. He makes it clear he doesn't trust me, and I make it just as clear I don't care.

But nothing about this trip is simple. The outbreak is worse than I imagined, and I can't walk away -- not when so many ranchers are depending on me, including Wade. Working alongside him every day, the lines between obligation and something far deeper start to blur. Sparks fly. Secrets surface. And suddenly, the girl who ran from this town is wondering if maybe... she was always meant to return.

Then I'm offered the job of my dreams -- back in the city, back to everything I thought I wanted. At the same time, Wade's ex walks back into his life, reminding me just how fragile what we've built really is. I've spent years running toward a future I thought I had to fight for. Now, I'm starting to realize the life -- and the love -- I truly want might be right here.
