Trayce Colter couldn't be happier with his life. He has a loving family, owns his own business, and he's also an ex-Marine. With his good looks, charm, and success, the only thing missing is a good woman in his life, but dating the women from Carmel Springs feels too much like dating a sister.

Still, moving to Carmel Springs was the first step to a new beginning, and she only hoped that it was. When Trayce's psychotic cat needs a new veterinarian, he's in for a big surprise.
