Victoria Kelly's life is a muddled mess.

In order to inherit her uncle Bill's estate, she has to live in his house for at least one year. She's also stuck with his beloved Newfoundland--a dog that is practically her size.

Soon after she relocates to Houndsville, she encounters Jackson, the town's hunky new veterinarian. They hit it off right away, but things get complicated when a rival for Jackson's affections turns up dead.

Is it murder? Who's the key suspect? And who says nothing ever happens in a small town?
