There’s an old saying: Whenever one door closes, another one opens. That’s truer of Virgin River than almost anywhere else on earth. After years spent on ranches around Los Angeles, Clay Tahoma is delighted to be Virgin Rivers new veterinary assistant. The secluded community’s wild beauty tugs at his Navajo roots, and he’s been welcomed with open arms by everyone in town everyone except Lilly Yazhi. Lilly has encountered her share of strong, silent, traditional men within her own aboriginal community, and she’s not interested in coming back for more. In her eyes, Clay’s earthy, sexy appeal is just an act used to charm wealthy women like his ex-wife. She can’t deny his gift for gentling horses, but she’s not about to let him control her. There’s just one small problem she can’t control her attraction to Clay. But in Virgin River, faith in new beginnings and the power of love has doors opening everywhere
