In Black Dog Escape, US Navy SEAL Jack Thibideaux’s life changes forever when a mission in Afghanistan goes tragically wrong, forcing him to defy orders to save a young girl. Two years later, seeking peace in the quiet town of Port Townsend, Jack battles the relentless “Black Dog” of a veteran’s guilt. Drawn into the lives of two very different women and an old sailor chasing redemption through a shipwreck’s hidden gold, Jack finds himself pulled into dangerous waters once again. When a friend’s niece is kidnapped, he’s thrust into a gripping fight for justice—one that will test his courage, unearth buried enemies, and reveal whether redemption is truly within reach.

Years later, now a disabled veteran working at the VA Medical Center in Grand Junction, Amber relies on her devoted service dog, Nikita, to navigate the lingering scars of war and the heartbreak of losing her fiancé. When tasked with tracking recent veteran suicides, Amber uncovers troubling anomalies that link back to her own haunting past. As the threads of conspiracy tighten and old enemies resurface, Amber and Nikita must face deadly forces determined to silence the truth—no matter the cost.

In a quiet Colorado mountain town, a homeless Iraq war veteran is brutally attacked—an act that may be tied to a dangerous secret from his past. Hannah Livingston, a police officer and former Army MP, sees a strength in Jake that he no longer believes he has. But when two murders thrust him into the center of an investigation, Hannah and Jake must navigate a treacherous path to uncover the truth. As they dig deeper, they confront dark forces willing to kill to keep the past buried. This gripping tale of trauma, redemption, and the unbreakable bond between combat veterans proves that sometimes survival means fighting for more than just your own life.
