Rori’s Journal
Date: Monday,
October 15
Snickers had her
cria today. Oh my stars! She’s just beautiful, and just
as sweet as her mama. I hope Snickers will rub off on Jumbo. Haha. Probably
not. Poor Jumbo had such a tough life until he came to live here at the
sanctuary. People can be so vicious and cruel. Isn’t that why I’m here? So, I
don’t blame him for being a bit cantankerous.
But I bet the new vet
could!
<Laughing out
loud now.> You should have seen the on-call doc Corbin’s office sent to help.
Unlike any vet I’ve ever met. I mean, really, what vet shows up at a working
ranch in a fancy sports car? And the man never even dragged his medical equipment
out to help with the delivery! Maybe the trunk wasn’t big enough? Or Corbin
told him I was qualified? Whatever, but he sure looked a bit green around the
edges. Must’ve had a long night with calls, but he handled Jumbo’s poor manners
with grace and humor.
Other than appearing
tired, he was mighty nice to look at. Thick dark hair. Heavy stubble on firm
jaws. Cocoa-colored eyes that sparkled with kindness. A deep rumble for a voice.
<insert dreamy sigh> Not that I’m looking.
But he was here when
I needed him, the first man besides Burk or my stepdad, and plans to come back
as a volunteer. Yeah, right.
Anyway, Graham, the
vet, named the cria, Reesie. Think it was from all the chocolate I stuffed in
my mouth?
Until tomorrow, Rori

Still stinging from
the publicity surrounding her father's death, social phobic Rori Harmon prefers
the solitude of her animal sanctuary, accepting that marriage isn’t in her
future. Racecar Driver Graham Decker refuses to be wrangled into a relationship
by another money-hungry female. On a philanthropy mission, he arrives just in
time to assist Rori with a llama birthing, but his appearance thrusts her into
the media spotlight again. Has Graham found a woman who doesn't care how deep
his wallet extends? Has Rori finally met a man who will stick around when times
get tough? Is healing for a hurting heart finally within Rori's reach?
