Sarah Calloway has spent a year in Kenya, building a life she loves-healing animals, bonding with the local village, finally feeling like she belongs somewhere. When armed poachers threaten everything she's fought to protect, she refuses to stand by. She doesn't care that she has no training, no backup, and no plan. Enter Donovan Hughes. A battle-hardened former Army K9 handler, he's been sent to train local rangers against the deadly network closing in. He's handled war zones, hostile targets, and every kind of chaos imaginable. He has never handled anyone like Sarah. She's fearless in all the wrong ways. Stubborn. Compassionate to a fault. And completely unaware of the effect she has on him-which might be the most dangerous thing about her. He's spent years keeping everyone at arm's length. She makes him want to stop. But the poachers are getting bolder, the danger is escalating, and falling for Sarah might cost them both everything.
