Dr. Elsie Clevenger is pulling an overnight shift when a battered beagle comes through the emergency veterinarian practice where she works. She’s more than ready to give the dog’s owners a piece of her mind, but to her surprise, it doesn’t belong to the two men who brought it in.

Keith Simmons and Alex Travers found the dog on the side of the road and will spare no expense to get it well again. But the last thing they expect is to be smitten by the sexy vet on duty.

The two men are obviously a couple, so Dr. Clevenger’s surprised when they ask her out on a date. Together.
