Love comes in an unexpected package for this cowboy and his K-9s.

Content with his quiet life training service dogs, the last thing army veteran Joaquin DeLeon wants is a runaway bride disrupting his peace.

Despite their personal reservations, the single mum and silent cowboy find themselves getting closer as young Oscar bonds with Joaquin’s latest training dog, Luna. But when the past catches up with Lali, will they lose out on their chance to build the family they all deserve?
