Janie Morgan is 22, petite, has red hair, and a temper to match. Although she had a few boyfriends, she is a bit old-fashioned—saving herself for her husband. She has always had a love for animals, and although her father is the town vet, she didn’t want to follow in her father’s footsteps. When her grandmother dies and leaves her some money, she buys a small farm and opens her own animal rescue center. When her father decides to retire, he tells Janie that he has hired someone to take his place, and Janie is reluctant to have to work with a new vet.

Paul Henson just graduated from veterinary school and is excited about his new job: a vet working in a small town. At six foot three, and very handsome, he had just gone through a bad breakup with his girlfriend, who was supposedly the love of his life. 

When the two of them meet, there is an instant attraction, and Janie gives herself to Paul, willingly thinking her search for the perfect man is over, and plans to spend the rest of her life with him. 

The arrival of another woman sends Janie’s world into a tailspin as she doubts that Paul’s love is real. As she struggles with her feelings, and finally confronts Paul, she discovers her doubts were all a misunderstanding. Making up, Janie and Paul pledge their love to each other once again, and just when Janie thought everything was on track, a message arrives, turning her perfect world upside down once again.
