Teresa has finally met her perfect man. Joe is gorgeous, strong and passionate...but he also has an intensely private quality that’s a challenge to any self-respecting woman.

And it’s not as though Teresa really needs another challenge in her life. She’s just moved to a small town in Washington, which her young son thinks is ‘cool’ and her teenage daughter hates! And even worse, although Teresa’s a darn good vet, the local farmers won’t let her treat their livestock.

But through it all, Teresa can’t resist loving Joe.

Even when she learns he’s keeping a secret that threatens their future happiness.
