Paramedic Lance Patterson knows you can't save everyone. Still, when he notices an injured dog limping along the outskirts of a car accident, he decides that maybe he can save just one more. A visit to the vet and a cool $1000 bill later, Lance has another problem--the beautiful (but standoffish) veterinary assistant that he can't get out of his head. With an unexpected new dog, a demanding job, and his own mother recovering from a stroke, is it really the right time for love?
