Since taking over the veterinary clinic in Libby, Montana last year, Janey Richards has been burning the candle at both ends. She's grateful she is busy, but there has barely been any time to build a life outside of work. To help pay down her debt faster, she agrees to take on responsibility for the livestock at Libby's annual rodeo, but perhaps she should've thought twice about the added stress.

Although, her personal life is definitely looking up.

JD Watike never thought he'd end up following in his father's footsteps, but he's found his stride these past six years as a member of the High Mountain Trackers team. He enjoys the simplicity of small-town living, which has only gotten more interesting since Doc Richards appeared on the scene.

Spending most of the past year patiently observing from a distance, the time feels right for him to make his move.

Or at least to clear up some misunderstandings.

The opportunity presents itself sooner than expected, when the pretty veterinarian stumbles onto some serious criminal activity at the Libby Roundup, and a young woman disappears from the grounds, he has plenty of cause to stay glued to her side.
