Sometimes the deepest wounds can help you find the greatest joy . . . Sergeant Sierra Winters' life is the military, but when an injury sustained in Afghanistan leaves her future in jeopardy, she must reevaluate everything she believes. The long days of recovery are brutal, but she's determined to make it through and to find her canine brother-in-arms, Staff Sergeant Rhaegar. Wounded alongside her, Rhaegar's been released from the Army, and Sierra won't stop looking until she tracks down the brave German Shepherd. Noah Jackson, a nurse at the Veteran's hospital, works hard for his patients and is trying to put his life back together after a painful divorce. When his brother's close friend and previous commanding officer shows up at the ranch, he wants to help. Sierra's presence, however, soon has Noah questioning the choices he's made for his life, and for Kaylee, his seven-year-old daughter. Sierra's visit leads to lots of trouble, but sometimes it's trouble that finally points you in the right direction. And when attraction blooms between the nurse and the patient, they both must decide if love is worth the risk. Will Sierra stick to what she knows--deeds over heart--or will she learn that love & honor are what matter most?
