The Apple Pie Knights (MacBrides #4)
Deborah Smith

When several of her sheep show up on a freezing January morning with full-body mohawks, Lucy's psychic "wooly clairvoyance" says the wool thieves are hiding in nearby woods owned by the MacBrides, and that Tal knows all about them. She confesses: they're veterans--men, women, and one service dog--suffering from PTSD, suspicious and jumpy. She's taken them to heart and won their trust with apple pies.
Lucy struggles with her fear of strangers while her heart is drawn to people so much like herself. When word of other minor thefts start to cause talk around the Crossroads Cove, Lucy has to get involved.
When Gus tells her he's coming home on leave soon, she realizes her challenges are just beginning.
