When Tripp Willoughby accepts a veterinary partnership in Juniper Bluff, Texas, he isn’t expecting to reconnect with his former college sweetheart. Breaking up with her might have been the biggest mistake of his life, and he knows he has no right to ask for forgiveness. He thought keeping his Crohn’s disease a secret was the right thing to do—but he ended up breaking her heart.

Now Diana Matthews has a new life running a doughnut shop and working with animals. Reluctantly, she accepts Tripp’s help with her pet therapy program. And as the furry animals bring them together, Tripp remembers how things used to be with Diana—and is convinced he must find a way to reveal the truth and win her back.

What readers are saying:

I love Myra Johnson’s style of writing, and this book is no exception. Diana and Tripp are the main characters and are very realistic—including Tripp’s major health issue of Crohn’s disease. In my opinion, the author handled this topic very well. I enjoyed this story, complete with a unique, sweet ending. Five stars! —Amazon reviewer

A mix of pure angst with a hint of humour. And so begins an exquisitely torturous rocky road reunion romance. It’s all three steps forward, two steps back right to the very end and I loved every tumultuous second of it. —Kav, Best Reads
