Rachel McNamara may be a big city yoga instructor, but she’s a farmer’s daughter at heart. She’s returned to Potts Landing to help her widowed mother with the family’s financially strapped rescue farm—Turning Point Farms—and open a new yoga studio, whose profits will go directly to support the rescue. But not just any yoga studio. A goat yoga studio. Enlisting her farm’s ragtag herd of goats, Rachel has rented the perfect space on Main Street for her new venture.

Well, almost perfect. There’s the guy running the business next door—and he’s not happy about the goats. 

Bret Hudson, owner of Golden Goal Soccer Training Center, is a former high school soccer superstar, whose dreams of a professional career were dashed when he tore his ACL. After trying to work a normal nine-to-five at his brother Mike’s commercial real estate firm, Bret opened his youth training center in one of Mike’s buildings, with hopes of expanding into the vacant space next door. But then Rachel—and her goats—showed up and put his dreams of expanding, and ultimately franchising, on hold. 

As the two try to coexist within the same building without killing each other, they learn that first impressions can be deceptive, that goats can be effective yoga instructors, and that soccer isn’t as boring as it looks. But before Rachel and Bret can explore whether there might be something between them, Glam Goat Yoga is shut down by the city, putting the rescue farm’s existence—and Bret and Rachel's burgeoning romance—at risk. 

About H.J. Bradstreet

Unlike John Cougar Mellencamp (and yes, she’s old enough to remember when he was a Cougar), H.J. Bradstreet was not born in a small town. But small town life has been her happy place since she was a kid. When she’s not writing meet-cutes or researching yoga poses and goat husbandry, H.J. enjoys gardening, podcasts on the Royal Family, biking, and chillaxing with her family and her literally never-not-hungry cat.
