When Leena Riley left her dreary hometown for the bright lights of Chicago, she never imagined that her return to Rock Creek would find her homeless, jobless and flat broke. Leena's brief stint as a plus-sized model made her famous in her home town, making her return that much harder. Landing a job is Leena's first priority and the moment she walks into the vet's office, she knows they'll hire her. Only she has the skills to tame the chaos in front of her.

Cole Flannigan returned to Rock Creek to open his veterinary clinic because he missed the small town atmosphere. The only problem with that is that everyone knows your business. So, the minute Leena Riley walks into his office telling him he's going to hire her, the whole town knows it, and they all remember the way she sucker punched him as kids. When it comes right down to it, Cole doesn't really care what the town thinks. He really does need Leena to whip his office into shape, plus, she's pretty cute, even if she doesn't realize it.

Moving back to Rock Creek has done a number on Leena's self- esteem, but getting involved with a plan to beautify her hometown takes her mind off her personal problems. The kisses Cole keeps giving her don't hurt either. But just when things are really heating up, her agent calls her back to Chicago. With her modeling dreams at war with her love for Cole, Leena heads to Chicago, but will she be able to stay away from Rock Creek -- and Cole?
