As a vet tech, Daniel is usually first in line to come to animals' aid. When he and his boss get a call about an animal hoarding situation, they expect the handful of badly treated dogs... but the tiger comes as a surprise.

Wes recently left his job to care for his sick mother. Now that she's on the mend, he needs work, and he finds it at a bustling shelter. But the animals aren't the only ones in need. His kind, chatty coworker Daniel is dealing with an abusive boyfriend--something Wes, whose father was an alcoholic, has experience handling. Wes steps up to help Daniel kick his boyfriend to the curb, but in the process, he finds himself falling for Daniel himself.

Navigating a new relationship when they both have traumatic pasts is one thing. But when a shady group starts targeting the tiger they are trying to find a zoo placement for, the stakes are raised even higher. Can Wes and Daniel come together to rescue the animals--and each other?
