All she wanted was a kitten to keep her company on her new farm, but new to town Aria Williams was finding that difficult to achieve. Having to escape her life, where her best friend ran off with her boyfriend, she broke ties with her successful band and left her life of fame behind her. Scarred and battered Flynn Logan saw trouble on the horizon at Aria's arrival. As one of the veterinarians of their small community, he would never simply sell his kittens. Aria had to earn one. His years in a war zone had taken a rough toll and left him with little trust for human society. In his world, his kittens would have the choice of who they wanted to live with and he stuck by those rules, until her. After a tumultuous beginning, Aria begins to see something in him that rarely existed in her fame filled world. She saw a uniqueness behind his surly expression, and although she didn't want it, she found herself drawn to him. When her secret is discovered, she can only wonder if their budding relationship can survive the news. Perhaps Flynn would be more resilient than she thought. He could lead her to greater heights than she had ever known, only time would tell.
