Alex March, USMC, returns from Iraq decorated, disciplined, and utterly unprepared for the war waiting at home. The nightmares come first. Then the panic. Then the rage that tears through his marriage, his dreams, and the life he fought to protect.
But Alex isn't the only one trained never to quit.
Masada, a golden retriever raised to become an American Service Dog, steps into his world with twenty months of training—and a heart big enough to challenge the ghosts that stalk her Marine.
As Alex unravels under the weight of PTSD, Masada anchors him, guides him, and stands her ground against the invisible enemy threatening to destroy him. Their bond becomes the one thing the war cannot take.
