Above and Beyond

Ember Hart knows pain. She has spent the past year agonizing over the death of her long-time partner, and best friend, Romeo. She trained Romeo from a pup to be the best bomb-sniffing dog in the Army. Sure, it was her job, but it became so much more than that. When a tragic accident takes him from her and leaves her scarred and damaged, she attempts to start over back home, but the memories of the past haunt her every move, and her physical scars keep her hiding from the world.

Colby Masterson was honorably discharged from the Army after his own tragedy. When he recovered, he decided to do what he could to help other injured vets in their recoveries. He started Alpha Dog Training where he and his friend train service dogs for anyone who needs them. He loves his life but knows he was meant for something more. Something is missing, and he won't stop until he finds it.

Ember and Colby cross paths and there is an instant pull, a connection that can't keep them apart. But Ember is still fighting her demons, and she is not sure Colby wants to be with someone so physically and emotionally damaged. Can Colby convince her he needs her, or will Ember let her past and insecurities tear them apart?

The Heart of the Wounded Hero series was created to pay tribute to and raise awareness of our wounded heroes. Each of the over eighty authors involved have contributed time, money, and stories to the cause. These love stories are inspiring and uplifting, showing the sacrifice of our veterans but also giving them the happily ever after they deserve.

By increasing awareness through our books, we believe we can in a small part help the wounded heroes that have sacrificed so much. Thank you for reading!
