David Espada's life is a mess. Blinded during the experiments that produced Endicott's dragon dogs, and still stinging from a particularly nasty betrayal, David has no business pursuing the town veterinarian—until David's beloved guide dog Drake finds himself on the outside of some poisonous lawn chemicals and a visit to Doc Wilson becomes a matter of life and death. Thayer Wilson's life is a mess, too. He helped heal the dragon dogs when they were abducted and damaged and knows he shouldn't be interested in the blind psychologist who helped bring the dragon dogs into existence. Even more complicated, Thayer's becoming fiercely devoted to Bug, a local kid with a miserable home life who helps out around the clinic. Three damaged humans, and the dragon dog who leads them all to the life they need—welcome to the town of Endicott, a small town with a scaly, winged twist, where romance flies on a diet of kibble!
