What begins as an undercover FBI operation becomes something neither of them expected.
Chase and Skye are sent to Harmony Hills Canine Rescue Academy with a cover story: a six-month relationship, a fabricated history, and strict orders to observe and report. Sixteen weeks of pretending to be in love. Simple enough - until the pretending stops feeling like pretending.
By the time they identify their target - a ghost named Marcus Steele, moving through the campus on a green maintenance lanyard with the patient confidence of someone who believes he has all the time in the world - the lines between the cover story and the truth have long since dissolved. The mission that ends with fourteen stitches and a federal arrest also ends with Chase and Skye no longer needing to pretend about anything.
But the mission gives them something else too. Her name is Ember.
Nine weeks old, smoky reddish-brown, silent since the night a warehouse burned in Kansas City and the rescue teams arrived forty minutes too late.
What follows is the story of an after. A pup house expanded to fit three. A team that already knew before they were told. A Saturday party that Marshall had been planning since the moment it was needed. And the slow, particular accumulation of ordinary days - mornings with Ember on his back, roof conversations under clear skies, a garden in late summer where a butterfly lands on a pup's nose and something long-broken remembers what it was for.
A story about the difference between a cover story and the truth, and what happens when you stop managing the distance between them.
