SAVING ALASKA AUSTIN

Some rescues are mutual. When a control-loving animal dad storms into a rural vet clinic in cartoon guinea pig pyjamas cradling an injured duck, the last thing he expects is sparks—especially not with the fresh-faced, slightly flustered vet who’s never treated poultry in his life. Troy is still nursing the wounds of a recent breakup and clinging tightly to the only family that’s never let him down: his ducks. Christian, new in town and fresh out of vet school, is desperate to prove himself—but can’t quite keep his hands steady when faced with a pet duck and one strangely magnetic client. As winter closes in on the sleepy town of Meadowford, a simple case of duck first-aid begins to unravel into something more tender, more complicated—and possibly, more dangerous. Because small towns have long memories, not everyone welcomes outsiders, and not every wound is visible on an x-ray. Gentle, funny, and quietly intense, this small-town MM romance is a story about healing in unexpected places, connection without labels, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you—webbed feet and all.
