Intimate Honor - (Empire Blue) by D C Stone (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A mission has gone almost deadly wrong in Afghanistan. Special Forces military working dog handler Chris Gonzalez and his K-9 partner, Delta Alpha, are sent home to heal after being injured during an operation. The military has decided Delta Alpha can no longer continue as an active military working dog, but Chris refuses to leave him behind. Coming home to Nyack isn't something he expected to do so soon, but in order to help his partner heal, he needs to do so with the help of the new local veterinarian, a woman who seems to have a dark history of her own. Juliette Graham had only wanted to escape her past and start over, this time with a new life and a new name. She didn't expect to find two males, one human, one canine, burrowing under her skin so quickly. That's the problem with secrets, though...they often have a habit of catching up when people least expect it...
