There are not enough words in the English language to describe how much Carter Maples irritates me. He's my best friend's brother and growing up together all we've ever done is fight. Want to know a secret though - damn that boy is hot. So hot I only went and did the one thing I thought I'd never, ever do. Yep, I fell in love with the beautiful redhead. How stupid can one girl be? Pretty damn stupid actually, and now we have to deal with the consequences. Trouble is, I may love him but he's also selfish and immature. I'm not sure he's ready to grow up, so I'm just going to have to dump his ass.

Wanting to be independent isn't stupid, right?

I'm Dayton Valley's vet and when I'm not saving animals, I'm loving the crap out of Bronte Jackson - or Lollipop as I like to call her because that girl has skills you wouldn't believe. We weren't supposed to end up together, but I guess the stars aligned and...bam! We love each other, pretty fierce, but Houston we have a problem and it's a pretty big one. Bronte doesn't think I can deal so has kicked me to the curb, but I'm determined to get her back.

It's okay to play dirty to get what you want, right?
