Celia Gamble is back in her hometown where she grew up and opening her new veterinarian practice and dealing with a mentally deranged blackmailer who is holding her past mistakes over her head as a threat to her business and her family. When her brothers and family are overprotective she tries to make sure they know she can handle herself but her childhood crush sees through her and offers to help. Jonah Clarke is a successful lawyer who is grappling with guilt over his family selling their ranch and with Celia needing him he tries to be professional but the woman she has become stirs his passions and his intellect. This book can be read as a stand alone without needed the previous books but it adds depth to know the extended characters. I loved Jonah's witty vibrant mouthy legal secretary and Celia's helper Melissa and they brought humor to their jobs and personal lives. This book showed how a loving family pulls together and closes ranks when one of their own comes under scrutiny and love adds security and caring to support Jonah falling for Celia.I received an advanced reading copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
