Joe Doherty was once the pride and joy of his family and a hero among heroes. His team and his country could depend on him. He could count on himself. Then came the mission that changed everything, but nothing so much as him.
Joe would like nothing more than to leave behind the ambush that ended his SEAL career, but now that his team is working for Black Watch Security, their sole job is to dismantle the shadowy network behind that ill-fated skirmish and bring home the girls who went missing during it.
Not to mention, he hasn’t gotten a solid night’s sleep in the two years since it happened, and his grip on life is getting worse, not better. In a last-ditch effort to return to the man he once was, Joe adopts two rescue dogs who might need more help than he does.
They’re perfect for each other, with one small catch. The dogs come with baggage in the form of a beautiful trainer named Sarah, and she looks at Joe like he might be her next rehabilitation project. Even worse? She has a past that could save his career—or sink them both for good.
