No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Grant Carter knows that fact intimately. The shrapnel sitting on his spine from an IED is a daily reminder. But the constant pain won't stop him from working at the Resting Warrior Ranch, training service and emotional support animals to help people with PTSD-something else he's intimately familiar with. He'll fight for those who can't fight for themselves. When his neighbor, shy veterinarian Cori Jackson, is humiliated by her ex-boyfriend for things she'd like to experiment with in bed, Grant is more than happy to show her real men aren't threatened by an adventurous spirit. The more time he spends with her, the more he realizes the literal girl-next-door is the one for him. And when Cori finds herself in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy surrounding the animals she treats, Grant will make sure she makes it out alive. He's a fighter. Was one in the Navy SEALs and still is one today. And he'll fight for Cori. Even if it costs him everything.
