Overworked and on the verge on burnout, her much anticipated vacation in the idyllic coastal town of Ravens Nest is railroaded when her paths cross with an injured and insanely handsome mystery man.

Fleeing for his life, the sacred and obscure pathway from a parallel world leads a bruised and battered Martin literally falling at Jessica's feet. Haunted by the betrayal he had just witnessed and fearful for his sister's life, who would now be forced into ruling over a war-torn world in his absence, he struggles to come to terms with his new reality and the beguiling allure of the stranger tending to him.

Torn between her duty of care, disbelief in the existence of another world, and an impossible attraction for a man she hardly knows, Jessica utilizes the only resources available to her in Ravens Nest: The medical facilities offered at the local veterinary clinic owned by eccentric veterinarian, Jack Foster.
