Scent of an Angel (Angel Paws Rescue) (Volume 1)

The only thing Tanner McKoy wants is to disappear into the backwoods of North Carolina, hopefully forgetting about his tour in Afghanistan. However, forgetting seems improbable - and disappearing is impossible when a determined grad student and her new shelter rescue track him down. After a miserable breakup, Eva Perez returns to school to complete her thesis and become a physical therapist. That means she'll have to present case studies... one of which includes a surly army veteran who refuses help. How can she win a battle with someone still stuck in combat mode? This novella is a sweet, contemporary romance.
