After his bestselling account of rescuing polar bear cubs while working on an Arctic oil rig, Magnus Gray has hit a career slump. To add insult to injury, his editor has assigned him to a remote, dusty town called Sagebrush Flats to write about the local zoo's latest resident, a fuzzy polar-bear cub. Magnus has a soft spot for the bear but wants to flee the town—until one Sagebrush resident has him questioning everything. June Winters is a people person—it's why she takes delight in her tea shop, the local hitching post, and why she puts up with the standoffish newcomer, Magnus. They butt heads more often than mountain sheep. But Magnus has a steadfast passion that June can't resist...and the two of them need each other more than they know. Thankfully, there's no shortage of lively inhabitants at the Zoo to convince June and Magnus that opposites really do attract.

      Kerr’s follow-up to Wild on My Mind (2018) has a darker, thinner plot than its predecessor and follows gruff, reclusive Scottish author Magnus Gray and perky tea shop owner June Winters as they collide in the small town of Sagebrush Flats. After Magnus’s most recent books sell poorly, his publisher insists he return to charming stories of small towns and animals. A book about Sagebrush Flats Zoo’s adoption of an orphaned polar bear would be perfect. But though Magnus loves animals, he detests small towns and their “folks.” His off-putting wild-and-woolly caveman look doesn’t deter chatty June, from whom he flees as quickly and often as possible—until he needs her. June is a former stutterer, and Magnus, who has a severe stutter, asks her to help him create a vlog to boost book anticipation. As their bonding progresses, dark themes of child abuse and abandonment emerge in stark contrast to the diverting, madcap antics of the zoo’s animals. Excessive Scottish idioms make reading this contemporary a challenge, and even animal lovers may find it hard to wade through. Agent: Sarah Phair, Trident Media Group.
