Finding the future they deserve will mean leaving the past behind…
Navy SEAL Noah Alba is on extended leave after a terrible mistake resulted in the loss of his K-9 partner. He arrives in Asheville, North Carolina, hoping to get his head on straight before he returns overseas. When an old friend recruits him to train service dogs for veterans, he doesn’t feel ready. Still, rambunctious rescue dog Lucky is awfully hard to resist—as is the drop-dead stunning bride Noah encounters while hiking.
When she finds out her fiancé is only marrying her to gain control of her family’s brewery, Peyton Sutton’s I do turns into a hard pass real quick. But Peyton’s father and now-jilted ex are determined to force the match at any cost. Running away can only get her so far, until Noah—and his adorably fierce canine companion—step in as an unlikely protector.
Guarding a runaway bride in the close quarters of her downtown loft is no way to avoid a simmering attraction. But Peyton can’t outrun her ex, and Noah can’t outrun his past; they’ll have to find a way to move forward together, or risk making another terrible mistake.

Peyton is a runaway bride finding out that her fiancé was only into her because her fathers promise that he'll get part of her family business shares. Noah is dealing with PSTD and trying to move forward wen he finds Peyton in rough shape after leaving her wedding. Sensing that she needs a bit of help he gets her out of a tight situation but when its clear that her ex-fiancé isn't getting the hint he sticks around longer to be of assistance.
I enjoyed this book. I loved seeing the connection between Peyton and Noah, they were there at the right moment to be what each others needs. I mean Peyton's ex just wasn't taking no for answer and was getting progressively worse and I was curious just how far he would go. Then there was that simmering attraction between Peyton and Noah and you can't help but root for them. I was curious to see what would become of things between the two especially since Noah was around for a reason, he had his demons he's working though. Overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.
