Description

A new country, a great job, and a "good Kiwi bloke".
Life couldn't be better.
Until it gets worse.

Newly emigrated to New Zealand, equine veterinarian Lena wants a "good Kiwi bloke", but they're elusive as their nocturnal namesake. Her history with men is not, shall we say, salubrious.
Nigel's avoiding females, unless they're cows, horses, or his mother. After his first marriage, he won't be responsible for anyone else's life ever again.
Sparks fly when they meet, but not that first time, over the dirty instruments in a filthy cowshed. They're made for each other... until Nigel remembers where he first saw her. And then the questions start.

THE ONCE UPON A VET SCHOOL SERIES
Did you ever want to be a veterinarian?
These contemporary veterinary fictions can easily be read as standalones, but they are part of a series. Share Lena's escapades as she follows her dream of becoming an equine veterinarian from the Santa Cruz Mountains of her childhood through the jungles of university to equine practice in the Sierra Nevada foothills, and finally onto her career as a rural equine and sometimes zoo-dentistry vet in New Zealand. This is Book Ten in the series, which is being written from the middle out-if George Lucas can do it, why not?

AUDIENCE AND FEATURES:
Stories for anyone who's ever dreamed of becoming a veterinarian or loves horses-stories of veterinary school life and the horses that fill Lena's dreams and her daytimes, too. They feature a capable heroine, modern veterinary treatments, plenty of laughs, some tears, and a lot of growing up. They're clean and wholesome, so everyone can read them!
