Now that she has a bachelor's degree in art history, Emily is unable to find work in her field. So she heads to West Virginia, the only place she's ever felt at home, to see if she can figure out what to do with her life. Noah may be in over his head. His veterinary practice is taking off, but he has little help and too many clients in arrears. When Emily comes to work for him part-time, her skills and pleasant nature quickly pull things into order. At least in the office. His heart, however, is another matter!
