After yet another heartbreak, veterinarian Kelli Hinton is done with broad-shouldered tough guys. From now on, she's dating only accountants and symphony musicians! Then Cole Tyler calls her out to his Colorado ranch for an emergency calf delivery. Her sweet childhood friend has turned into a handsome, tough-as-rawhide cowboy, but their old connection is still as easy and natural as it ever was. It's the perfect friendship for two people who are too scarred by their respective pasts to pursue anything like love. But some bonds are too strong to ignore forever.
