Tristan (Alpha Mavericks Brigade #4)

Tristan

...how tough it can be to adjust to life outside the military; but we have all been through it. And I am one of the lucky ones to have others I can rely on.
Especially since my relationship with Carol ended.
I had never pegged her for a cheater, but I guess it’s easy to completely misinterpret people....until my friend James, who was back from deployment, told me he saw Carol on a date with someone else in the city.
Right now, all I want to do is enjoy my new freedom and get a dog.
She tells me her name. It’s Emily.
From the moment I first saw her, I knew she was the perfect person to look after all these dogs in the shelter. I would adopt all of them if I could, just to make her happy.

It’s nearly time to take the dogs out for a walk. We have a dedicated walking and running track at the back of the shelter. I’m walking on clouds as I go outside to prepare for the walking session.
It is a part of my job to do everything to increase their chances of being re-homed and I love it. It makes me feel fulfilled in a way nothing else can.
Dagger is just a dog, of course, but the more time I spend with him at the shelter, the more I’m beginning to feel like he’s actually my best friend.
Dagger and I are locked in a tight embrace when I hear that strong masculine voice.
I have all his information on the piece of paper in front of me. His name is Tristan Mill, and he is the sexiest man I have met in person. Ever.
