Where There is Hope

Doc Hope is the woman to call when your pet is ailing, your cow stops eating, or your horse goes lame.Because she understands animals a whole lot better than she does people; that's for sure. She's sworn off men in particular since her husband walked away from their marriage a few weeks before their second anniversary.She should have seen it coming - his leaving. Apparently, everyone else did. But Hope... well, Hope hoped.Levi Valiente is exceptionally skilled with a curved blade and a bone saw, the tools of his trade as the local butcher.He's also a good man, a great dad, and he knows how to treat the women in his life. Except, perhaps, for his wife, who walked out on their family a few months before their daughter's first birthday.He certainly saw it coming - her leaving. He saw it coming a mile away.But Levi's tired of hiding his great big heart behind the shield of self-doubt he carries, and he'd like to believe that where there's Doc Hope, there's a good chance of happily ever after, too.Hometown heroes. Heartfelt Romance. Happily Ever Afters.
