He found her lost in the wild. Now, he'll never let her go.

Jim is a man of the mountains, rough, solitary, and hardened by years of felling timber. Beneath his scarred exterior lies a protective streak he rarely shows, until a desperate cry from the thicket changes everything.

She wasn't supposed to be out there. A young, stray hucow, abandoned and trembling, heavy with a "sweet burden" that needs immediate relief. Jim is mesmerized. He's never seen anything so lush, so helpless, and so incredibly enticing.

Taking her back to his cabin was an impulse. Keeping her is a choice.

But turning a scared, wild creature into a pampered, obedient pet requires more than just shelter. It takes rigorous discipline, hours of "training," and a firm hand to manage her overflowing needs. Jim is ready to be the master she never had, but is he prepared for the way this milky beauty will claim his heart?
