But the protective animal lover cannot forgive himself tied by the belief he is unworthy of love. So when the adorable Flick Parker bounds into his clinic with her unruly dog he's torn between his fascination with her zest for life and the overwhelming desire to turn tail for the hills. Meanwhile Flick is falling for the handsome vet. But she doesn't know if her heartfelt desire to care for terminally ill children can be her future or if it's the very thing that will keep her and Ross apart. Finding the balance between offering too much heart or guarding it like an open wound feels like an impossible task but can Flick show Ross it's worth taking the risk of opening up to find love?
