A Soldier's Heart. A Snowberry Creek Novella (A Penguin Special from Signet Eclipse)

A novella of loyalty and survival-in which three soldiers must survive active duty before they can find their true loves in the town of Snowberry Creek, Washington. Best friends Nick, Spence, and Leif are counting down the last days of their third deployment as members of the U. S. Army, and their first in Afghanistan. But when one of them receives heartbreaking news from home, their camaraderie will be tested both under fire and under the strain of nearly unbearable emotional pain.
Then, while on patrol in a dangerous sector, the strangest thing happens-a stray dog appears from nowhere, alerting them to a coming ambush, and saves their lives. And as the three soldiers struggle to rescue the pooch from the firefight, each of the friends finds a little lost piece of himself-and a part of themselves they need to carry home. Includes a preview of the upcoming full-length novel set in the Snowberry Creek series, A Time for Home
