Colette Hartley is a final‑year vet student barely keeping her life stitched together. Between chaotic clinic shifts, unpredictable animals, and a bank account that winces every time she checks it, she's one minor disaster away from combusting. Unfortunately, that disaster arrives in the form of a full pint of beer - which she accidentally launches at a very handsome stranger on her shift at The King's Stag.
Damien Thorne, a Blues and Royals cavalry soldier with quiet eyes and posture too perfect for civilian life, walks into the pub expecting a quiet pint with friends. Instead, he gets drenched by the pub's resident hurricane - a flustered, ink‑smudged, dog‑hair‑covered waitress who apologises like she's about to flee the country.
Their disastrous meet‑cute should have ended there.
It doesn't.
