Tessa's dream of becoming a veterinary tech crashes after her fiercely supportive fiancée dies in a tragic accident. Mourning her loss and desperate to move forward, Tessa must prove she can handle the pressures of working in a real-life clinic. Princess doesn't mean to be high maintenance, but trust comes hard to the brokenhearted. Tessa is the only human who's ever made Princess feel safe enough to come out of her shell. When a mysterious illness breaks out at Pretty Paws, can this heartbroken dog and grieving human team up to save the shelter's sick dogs?

Leslie Durant, owner of Pretty Paws, doesn't care that she's always giving all of her time and attention to others: It's worth the joy of helping abandoned animals find loving forever homes. But if she can't find a way to bring more money into the struggling shelter, the sacrifices she's made will all be for nothing. Then her brother leaves her with an inheritance, with two stipulations: She must work with her estranged mother to host a successful charity event and find a loving home for Peter's dog, Kiwi.

Melinda expects to spend January lounging by her farmhouse's fireplace, paging through the seed catalogs' promises of spring. After all, the slower pace of rural life was one of the reasons she'd left the city behind. Instead, she must face her fears when the worst of winter's threats arrive at her door. Braving blizzards to care for her animals, thawing her acreage's water lines, and anxiously watching over the pregnant sheep in her barn fill her shorter days and longer nights. She trudges on because Horace's offer stands firm: He'll sell her the farm in the spring if she still wants to stay.
