The Vet's Easter Rescue

A Balsam Ridge Sweet Holiday Romance

By: Tessa Wilde

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I never expected a tiny abandoned rabbit to change my life. As Balsam Ridge's veterinarian, I'm used to caring for all creatures great and small, but there's something special about this fragile baby bunny we've named Hopscotch—and about the man who found him.

Ryan Wheeler isn't supposed to be part of my carefully crafted small-town life. He left Balsam Ridge years ago for a prestigious landscape architecture career in Seattle, and he's only back temporarily to help his parents sell their garden center. I know better than to let myself fall for someone who's just passing through.

But as Mrs. Thompson cleverly maneuvers us onto the same Easter Festival committee, I find myself spending more time with Ryan, nurturing both Hopscotch and a special children's wildlife garden that seems to reflect the growing connection between us. Each garden bed we design, each milestone in Hopscotch's recovery brings us closer, until I can't imagine my life without either of them.

Now, with Easter approaching and our garden in bloom, I'm facing the most difficult question of all: am I brave enough to believe that some roots, once planted, might be strong enough to make even the most determined traveler want to stay? In Balsam Ridge, where spring promises new beginnings, perhaps this Easter will bring the most unexpected blessing of all—a love worth cultivating.

Welcome to Balsam Ridge—a cozy small town where holidays are celebrated, the community is close-knit, and love can blossom when you least expect it. Here, everyone looks out for each other, and the chance of love is always just around the corner.
