Blaze had planned to go home to Rockfield, Kentucky, some day. He just hadn’t expected it to be this soon, until Badger offers a reason to head in that direction. As a longtime animal rescue volunteer, hearing about the plight of Solo, a shepherd with severe dissociative issues from her military days, Blaze knows he has to see this through.

Camilla, on her way to an event she’s planning, tries to avoid hitting a dog as it runs across the road. Blaze witnesses the accident and stops to help, realizing this could be the shepherd he’s looking for. Even better, Camilla is a hoot, and it’s been so long since Blaze has had anything to smile about.

But memories run long, and insults cut deep. And someone isn’t happy about their blossoming friendship. Or, maybe, even several someones. 

How far will they go to stop it? And who will still be standing when this all ends?
