Military veteran Hannah Bailey has retreated into herself after serving time in combat. Never a strong proponent for battle, she only wanted to appease her father—a man who only wanted sons. Now, after years of quiet solitude, Hannah refuses to leave her room at the Winters Foundation, nor will she open up to anyone about her trauma. Former K-9 handler Cole Martin trains dogs for Team Hawk at the Winters Foundation. The new reserved, silent woman intrigues Cole, but she denies anyone access to her thoughts and emotions. The only way he can truly get through to her is with the help of his most reliable colleague, Brody, a rascally German Shepherd who gets himself into trouble on a daily basis. Hannah’s reluctant nature is no match for Brady’s charm. As the dog draws her out of her shell, Cole searches for a way in. Can the shepherd and Cole heal Hannah’s heart to make room for both of them?
