Gunnery Sergeant Jane Donovan's world shatters when a split-second decision in Madrid costs an orphaned child their life. Facing disciplinary action and the possible end of her military career, she's given a final chance: work with Dr. Chase Russell or walk away from the only life she's ever known. Dr. Chase Russell —once a top trauma counselor, now a reluctant rancher in Central Oregon—is chasing a book deal on PTSD therapies for veterans. But he's still running from his own ghosts. When Jane arrives, battle-scarred and resistant to help, he wants nothing to do with her. Thrown together by circumstance and two runaway kids , their uneasy alliance deepens through the quiet magic of play therapy and the slow unraveling of secrets long buried. As old wounds resurface and new bonds form, Jane must choose: return to the life she fought so hard for, or take a risk on something entirely different. And Chase? He's never been one to take on lost causes. But maybe—just maybe—he's meant to help a hero find her way home.
