Dr. Daniel Livingstone is 50 years old and is the head veterinarian at the Emily Van De Walle Animal Shelter in Cedar Grove, Iowa. He has had a secret crush on one of the volunteers, Caryn Fielding for quite some time but has never approached her.

Caryn Fielding has had her share of heartbreak and devastation after contracting Meniere's disease and then losing her husband shortly after. She has always kept to herself and has been referred to as a "cat lady".

When Dan asks Caryn out they discuss their pasts and realize how much they enjoy their time together. Yet Caryn has reservations due to her disability and doesn't want to rely on anyone. Will she learn to lean on Dan or will she push him away in fear of losing him?

This story doesn't focus on past relationships but on the fear of losing someone close to you. Caryn shows us the weaknesses that many of us face in starting over with the chance of losing someone we love again. Her disabilities only burden her as she doesn't want to feel like she is putting extra strain on someone. This is a great book and great series!
