Hyacinth, Paperback/Chris Keniston

Determined to meet his deadline, author Alan Peters retreats to a secluded cabin near the small town of Lawford. When his temporary home is invaded by a wild animal, with only a broom for defense, he has no choice but to call in reinforcements. Expecting a burly mountain man on his doorstep, truth proves stranger than fiction when a fearless beautiful blonde comes to his aid. Having loved and cared for animals all her life, veterinarian Hyacinth Nelson is now spearheading the development of a wildlife sanctuary. The only thing stopping her is money--or the lack there of. With a major fundraiser around the corner, she has no time for the intriguing stranger who keeps crossing her path and leaving her with more questions than answers.
