A fraudulent will, a jealous cousin, and a deadly epidemic. In the rugged heart of Bridgeport, Carmen and Zach are about to discover that some convenient promises are impossible to fake.
Carmen Reed is the quiet sister of Sunrays Ranch, a woman who finds more peace in the stables than the parlor. While her sisters have found their “Mr. Good Men,” Carmen’s heart is set on a different goal: becoming a veterinary surgeon.
When the brilliant yet embattled Zachary Clay arrives to take over his late uncle’s practice, Carmen sees a chance to finally fulfill her destiny as his apprentice.
Zachary Clay didn’t just inherit a clinic. He inherited a web of manipulation.
His aunt and cousin, Eileen, are determined to trade his freedom for his inheritance, claiming a deathbed promise requires him to marry into their family or lose everything.
In a bold move to protect his practice, Carmen proposes a “convenient” solution. A sham engagement to ward off his relatives. But as they work side-by-side to battle a sudden anthrax outbreak and perform life-saving surgeries, the line between professional partnership and deep, abiding love begins to blur.
When the truth of the will is finally uncovered, will their convenient arrangement be enough to sustain a real future, or will the secrets of the past pull them apart?
