Newt Tobias, a man who once strictly adhered to the letter of the law, is now willing to do anything for his little girl. In a bid to provide a better balance for his troubled teenage daughter, he has taken early retirement, sold his city home, and moved to the tranquility of cottage country. However, not long after settling in, Newt finds himself at odds with a stubborn and fiery-tempered woman with captivating brown eyes.
Frederique Marchand, a recluse who once preferred to live alone, has dedicated her life to working with troubled adolescents. Her unwavering commitment to her work means she has little patience for fools or bullies, especially handsome strangers like Newt who believe they can trample over her. While Frederique much prefers the company of her menagerie of animals in her own time, the welfare of a teenager forces her to put aside her initial misgivings and collaborate with a man who needs her as much as she will come to need him.
Newt's decision to leave the city behind and embrace a simpler life in the countryside was driven by his desire to provide a better environment for his daughter. Seeking the tranquility and balance that the rural setting promises, he is determined to make a fresh start and help his child navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence. However, his plans are disrupted by the presence of Frederique, a woman who is as unyielding as the land she calls home.
Frederique, on the other hand, has found solace in her work with troubled youth and the companionship of her beloved animals. Her no-nonsense approach and unwillingness to tolerate any form of disruptive behavior have made her a force to be reckoned with. When Newt's arrival threatens to disrupt the delicate balance she has created, Frederique is quick to assert her dominance and make it clear that she won't be easily swayed.
As the two reluctant neighbours are forced to work together for the sake of a young person in need, they find themselves navigating a complex web of emotions, preconceptions, and the realities of their vastly different lifestyles. What begins as a clash of wills slowly transforms into a begrudging respect and, perhaps, even the beginnings of an unlikely alliance.
Through the unfolding of their story, the reader is invited to explore the themes of personal growth, the power of community, and the unexpected ways in which people can come to rely on and need one another, even in the face of initial resistance. The juxtaposition of Newt's by-the-book approach and Frederique's fiery temperament creates a dynamic and engaging narrative that keeps the reader captivated until the very end.
