Paige Ellison has trust issues. She's been on her own taking care of herself and the two cats she stole from her foster parents since she ran away just before her seventeenth birthday. She hides behind her purple hair and heavy makeup and is used to not relying on anyone but herself. Happy Endings Resort seems like the perfect place, but Paige has a dream of owning an animal sanctuary and she won't risk giving up her dream for anything, including some good looking deputy! One of the volunteers at the pet shelter is Clark Wentworth, a Deputy Sheriff in Endings. He is immediately attracted to Paige and Clark's love of animals immediately puts Paige at ease. But is it enough to break down her walls and let her see that she can trust him? When Paige runs, Clark vows to catch her and find out if they stand a chance at happiness!
