Gunnery Sergeant Jane Donovan's world shatters
when a split-second decision in Madrid costs an orphaned child their life. Facing disciplinary action and the possible end of her military career, she's given a final chance: work with Dr. Chase Russell or walk away from the only life she's ever known.
Dr. Chase Russell
-once a top trauma counselor, now a reluctant rancher in Central Oregon-is chasing a book deal on PTSD therapies for veterans. But he's still running from his own ghosts. When Jane arrives, battle-scarred and resistant to help, he wants nothing to do with her.
Thrown together by circumstance and two runaway kids
, their uneasy alliance deepens through the quiet magic of play therapy and the slow unraveling of secrets long buried. As old wounds resurface and new bonds form, Jane must choose: return to the life she fought so hard for, or take a risk on something entirely different.
And Chase?
He's never been one to take on lost causes. But maybe-just maybe-he's meant to help a hero find her way home.
A heartwarming story about a veteran suffering from PTSD. Jane Donovan speaks for all the dedicated servicemen and women who are truly devoted to being Marines. Readers will feel as if they know these characters personally; they will experience the pain of war while celebrating the strength and courage that is found to bring lives back from the brink of failure. A truly riveting story with beautiful characters and a plot you won't soon forget.
