Description
When chicken influencer Nicole “Nic” Jones flees a public breakup and lands in Yagerstown with eight hens and a hope for quiet, the town delivers the opposite. Her next-door neighbor is Dr. Will Lund, a tired small-town vet who has strong opinions about backyard chickens, stronger opinions about failure, and absolutely no defense against Nic’s laugh—or her yellow sundress in a summer storm. A runaway hen, a life-or-death vet visit, a farmers’ market showdown, and a reluctant porch beer lead to something neither of them planned: honesty. As Nic rebuilds friendships and confronts an ex who won’t stop poking the internet bear, Will fights to keep his clinic alive and learns he can’t do it alone. They spark, they stumble, and they find out that healing—financial, emotional, and romantic—takes community, apology, and a little chaos. Slow-burn heat, small-town heart, and a bossy flock of hens make this love story feel alive, messy, and hopeful.
