Meg Kittering is a widowed mother struggling to keep her local diner running. Grant Emerson is a cop from Billings, Montana, who is back in his hometown of High Mountain on a temporary leave. He’s trying to persuade his mother to abandon her plans of starting an animal rescue farm with her sisters. When Grant walks into Meg’s diner, she’s unsure whether to steer clear of the grumpy man or open her heart to him in Allie Pleiter’s RESCUE ON THE FARM (Harlequin Love Inspired Romance).

Grant’s mother, Cay Emerson, has adopted several puppies, one of which requires extra care. This has filled her life with joy and purpose. Her neighbor, Meg, supports Cay’s vision for the Three Sisters Rescue Farm, but Grant worries that his mother won’t be able to handle the responsibilities of this new venture. Grant, who is back in town for a few weeks after reporting corruption at his police department, wishes his mother would sell the property. Meg, however, has limited time to convince him otherwise. Meanwhile, Meg, along with her six-year-old twins, just might melt Grant’s heart and show him that coming home for good is the best choice of all.

RESCUE ON THE FARM is a heartwarming story filled with puppies, families, tough decisions, and second chances. Meg needs to learn how to accept help, while Grant must reconnect with those around him. The story features a fundraising event for the animal rescue, a puppy roundup, a surprise birthday party, and of course, plenty of puppies. The author delivers an inspirational tale with a solid plot, enriched by a touch of suspense involving Grant’s career and threats to those he loves. Daisy, a disabled puppy who regains the ability to walk with the help of a wheelchair for her back legs, steals the show. Her resilience inspires Meg and softens Grant’s hardened heart. The engaging writing, inviting scenes, and uplifting conclusion will leave readers smiling at the end of RESCUE ON THE FARM.
