A retired Marine colonel and the lonely, unofficial town matchmaker are thrown together as the fate of the Wounded Warrior Rescue hangs in the balance.

Jim Larsen waited years for Kat’s widowed heart to heal. Now convinced that he’ll never measure up to the memory of her late husband, he understands it's time to move on. The long drive to his childhood home hundreds of miles away will be a lonely one, but not as lonely as the long winter nights ahead.

Kat Davenport is left in shock at Jim’s sudden departure. The man she was certain would make a move for her heart made a move across the country instead. And now she’s questioning everything she thought she knew about love.

With her heart still in tatters, Kat receives word that the city council has given her one month to shutter her precious rescue or face hefty fines. As she tries to come up with a plan to save the rescue, she receives devastating news about Jim… news that brings back haunting memories of a night many years ago when tragedy struck.

She wants nothing more than to be by Jim’s side until she can be sure he'll pull through, but can she risk leaving the rescue in the middle of a crisis knowing she's got a houseful of young veterans and rescue dogs depending on her?
