Chase Maddox left behind the carnage of war to become the director of his sister’s therapy center, Paws for Caring. Now he’s saving souls instead of extinguishing them. Watching the men and women in his group take their first step toward conquering their fears makes Navy SEAL Hell Week seem like child’s play. Each success restores his faith in the strength of the human spirit. Naomi Fields grew up with an absentee mother and never knew her father. After testifying against the person who murdered her best friend, the life she’s built for herself is upended forever. Fast forward ten years and she’s ready to take a chance—new life, new home, and new opportunities. She’s passionate about her work at Paws for Caring, and its handsome director makes her heart sing. But Chase is all that is decent in the world, and Naomi is damaged goods. Chase appreciates Naomi’s strong will and fighting spirit, which is why the fear she’s trying desperately to hide ignites his protective instincts. The Brotherhood could watch her, but he refuses to let her out of his sights. When brutality from her previous life comes calling, can Naomi overcome her past, or will her new life and the possibility of a future with Chase be destroyed by her inability to trust?
