Lukas's struggles with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, threaten to tear the three of them apart, but nothing threatens them more than when Carlynn goes missing on a mission. Now the rugged, emotionally scarred Marine and his K-9 partner must find Carlynn and bring her home, or risk losing everything he has finally found worth fighting for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA note from the Author:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStar Hero is a stand-alone novella in the world of the Star Series.
