When your friend confesses his true feelings, do you take a chance even if heartache means losing everything you've worked for? Claire Everson is working at her dream job, vet tech for Hawkins Ridge Animal Sanctuary. Growing up in Sunny View Trailer Park, she didn't think she'd achieve her goal of taking care of animals. Especially after her accident. When she took the job, she didn't factor in Jace Beckett; the youngest of the town's golden Beckett Family. A teddy bear wrapped in a handsome, charming package. His reputation as a man who couldn't commit made it easy to say no when he asked her out. Claire didn't want a repeat of her cheating ex-fiancé. Jace Beckett knew he had a reputation. He developed it for over a decade. Between his ex-girlfriend and seeing his brothers' heartbreaks, it justified his decision to never open his heart again. However, he never thought he'd find someone like Claire-a kind, beautiful survivor with a heart as vast as Alaska. He wanted forever. He would do whatever it took to show her he was the man for her. That meant fully taking on his role in the family business. He and his brothers had goals for the business that relied on him. No pressure. Can Claire and Jace erase their personal fears and find love and belonging? Welcome back to Hawkins Ridge and Oak Mountain. Love and forever isn't just for the animals.
