Book one: Ethan
When one door closes ... second chances open another ...Ethan was lost after a major accident abruptly shifted him from a military life to a civilian one, from working with dogs to odd jobs ... In that time, he'd spent months healing from his physical injuries. When he connects with Badger and the rest of his Titanium Corp. group of former SEALs, Badger offers Ethan an opportunity he can't refuse. A chance to do the work he used to do ... with a twist.

Cinnamon works from home as a project manager plus is heavily involved in global dog rescues-dogs of all kinds. When Ethan walks into the next door's vet's office with an injured shepherd in his arms, she sees another lost soul-just like the canine ones she helps.

Ethan knows he's about to take a dangerous step, but he's on the job, and no one-on the job or not-hurts animals while he's around. This poor shepherd has taken enough abuse, and Ethan fears she is only the tip of a nightmare he's determined to uncover. But he knows she's going to lead him in the right direction.

He has his sights set on saving one dog in particular, Sentry: K9 File 01.

Book two: Pierce
Just because helping out is the right thing to do doesn't make it easy ...Pierce is on the hunt for Salem, a K9 military dog that belonged to Pete, a veteran, who can no longer look after himself or the dog. So the dog has been handed from owner to owner-until she's become too much to handle-and now the law is involved. No one has Salem's best interests in mind ... and they definitely don't have Pete's either. Pierce is about to change all that ... whether they like it or not.

Hedi, a young deputy, has lived in Arrowhead, Colorado, all her life and knows Pete and Salem but was helpless to do much when greed overtook his friends and family. She recognizes in Pierce the same qualities that Pete has, and, by Pierce's actions alone, she knows a corner has been turned. She also understands the locals won't take it lying down, and this means war ...

Pierce served his country overseas for many years, and seeing another veteran in trouble makes him realize the fight isn't over, even after life in the navy ends. In fact, this battle has just begun. But ... this one ... Pierce will finish. And he plans to win.
