The Payback Man — Carolyn McSparren

Creature Comfort -- the largest animal hospital in Tennessee, treats animals of all sizes -- horses and cattle as well as family pets. In this heartwarming series, you'll meet the patients and their owners, and you'll get to know the men and women who love and care for creatures -- great and small.

Dr. Eleanor Grayson, large-animal vet at Creature Comfort, has taken care of animals all her life. Now she's in charge of the new farm program at the local prison. As she meets the inmates, one man catches her eye.

Steve Chadwick was still grieving his wife's death when he was convicted of her murder. Now he has only one thing on his mind. Escape! He needs to confront the real killer before the man absconds to Brazil. The last thing Steve can afford is to let the attractive lady vet distract him.

And the last thing Eleanor can afford is to fall for a convict with vengeance in his heart.
