A zookeeper always on the fringe learns to go after her wildest dreams--including a certain television star--in this charming and laugh-out-loud romantic comedy by Kerry Rea, author of The Wedding Ringer.
Lucy Rourke has two great loves in her life: the gorilla troop she cares for as a primatologist and the laundry list of reality TV shows she watches to escape the fact that her actual love life doesn't exist. And like a reality contestant gunning for the final rose, Lucy's laser-focused on one thing: getting promoted to head keeper. So when a wildlife docuseries hosted by hotshot TV personality Kai Bridges chooses her zoo as its summer filming location, she sees an opportunity to showcase her beloved gorillas to the world and land a starring role in her department.
When Kai and his film crew arrive, however, it's obvious to Lucy that Kai cares more about sky-high ratings than the gorillas, and he considers her a camera-averse know-it-all whose wardrobe consists entirely of khaki. But she's surprised to discover there's more to him than his rugged good looks and cheesy catchphrases...and that maybe a promotion isn't the only thing she wants. But when secrets from their pasts threaten to complicate everything, Lucy discovers that happiness and success aren't the same thing--and that finding joy just might mean getting a little wild.
