BLURB:

One chaotic goat. One high-stakes grant. One Glamma-level scheme to turn enemies into something far more dangerous.

Delaney:

I've been in hate with Marc Kingsley for twenty years.

He's logical. Controlled. And completely incapable of understanding anything that can't be proven—like my shop, my beliefs ... me.

So, of course, I move back to Ruby River and immediately get stuck running an animal yoga class with him.

Thanks, Glamma.

Now we're working side-by-side to help the local shelter—him with facts, me with instinct, and one chaos-loving goat trying to destroy us both.

But the more time I spend with Marc, the less he fits the version of him I've held onto for years.

Because the man I thought I hated ...

He's patient, Protective. And starting to look at me like I'm something worth believing in.

Marc:

Delaney has never made sense to me. I'm better with facts than people.

She believes in things I can't measure. Feels things I can't explain. And somehow manages to dismantle every bit of control I rely on.

Which is a problem—because this yoga class determines whether the Ruby River shelter gets the grant it needs.

I should be focused. Professional. Unaffected.

Instead, I'm noticing everything.

The way she lights up a room. The way she refuses to give up. The way being near her feels less like chaos ... and more like clarity.

And somewhere between the arguments and the late nights. I realize something I should've figured out years ago.

I don't hate Delaney.

I never did.

And now that I finally have a chance with her ... I'm going for it.

All in. All the way.
