Choosing true love suddenly seems like no sacrifice at all. Starting an equine therapy program is Vivianna Orleans' dream, and she has three months to work on it at Brockman Farms before family obligations will pull her back to France. Arriving in the charming town of Graciella, Vivianna discovers her small rental house is right next door to bachelor Jake Cooper. Thirty-six-year-old estate attorney Jake Cooper has purchased his first home in Graciella. Too bad his girlfriend doesn't share his love of small-town life and dumps him. But Jake's used to moving on from relationships. He's also used to charming people and being the life of the party, but the woman in the rental next door won't give him the time of day or even her name. Slowly, guardedly, the pair draw closer, bonding over their love of animals...including Jake's crazy rescue mutt who adores Vivianna. When Vivianna gets hurt, Jake swoops in to care for her and their love affair begins. The people and town of Graciella swirl their magic and friendship around Vivianna, urging her to stay...despite the family duties demanding her return to her old life. Will she give up her legacy and inheritance for a beautiful found family and true love?
