Where the Wild Hearts Are

When Katie Underwood discovers a litter of abandoned mountain-lion cubs, the last person she expects the zoo to send over is her former crush...and high-school bully. And the worst part? He doesn't even remember her. So as soon as they rescue the cougars, Katie plans to permanently part ways with the infuriatingly attractive zookeeper. Bowie Wilson can't figure out why the beautiful redhead seems to hate his guts. But he considers himself lucky when her mother volunteers her to help raise the cubs – he could use the extra hands. Forced to work with Bowie, Katie is determined to protect her heart. But a lovelorn camel, a matchmaking honey badger, and a nursemaid capybara have completely different plans...

After his bestselling account of rescuing polar bear cubs while working on an Arctic oil rig, Magnus Gray has hit a career slump. To add insult to injury, his editor has assigned him to a remote, dusty town called Sagebrush Flats to write about the local zoo's latest resident, a fuzzy polar-bear cub. Magnus has a soft spot for the bear but wants to flee the town-until one Sagebrush resident has him questioning everything. June Winters is a people person-it's why she takes delight in her tea shop, the local hitching post, and why she puts up with the standoffish newcomer, Magnus. They butt heads more often than mountain sheep. But Magnus has a steadfast passion that June can't resist...and the two of them need each other more than they know. Thankfully, there's no shortage of lively inhabitants at the Zoo to convince June and Magnus that opposites really do attract.
