When Jamie comes into the Humane Society to adopt a cat as a companion to his pet, he meets Tom who is there looking for another dog to train as a service animal. When Jamie hears what Tom does and learns that the Canine Comrade Corps needs office help, he volunteers. Both Jamie and Tom are attracted to each other, and both feel unworthy of love. Jamie owns up to the fact that he messed up his own life by having unprotected sex with a lover who turned out to be unfaithful. He knows he hasn't been as courageous as Tom whose PTSD and amputations came from his time in the service. Jamie's caught in a dead-end job because if he left to go to a better job, he wouldn't have health care because of his preexisting condition, and his HIV meds are too expensive without health benefits. He's also worried about getting the side effects from the drugs even though he hasn't experienced any so far. Tom is battling day by day, trying to avoid triggers that will take away his self control. He knows the importance of service dogs since his helps him control his environment and balance his life. His job at the CCC has become the center of his life, and rightly so. He, like Jamie, wonders if he'll ever have sex again or a loving partner in his life. When they get together, they see each other as people and not as problems. When a distraught guy comes into the CCC and threatens to kill himself, Jamie calmly talks him down while Tom's PTSD puts him in a near catatonic state. It takes both Jamie and Tom's best friend to get Tom back in control.

When Jamie walks through the door of the Humane Society, it's not just an animal who needs rescuing that day. Tom is there to adopt another service dog into the Canine Comrade Corps, but it's Jamie his heart goes out to. But each man turns away, walks away, from the potential pain, the rejection, the knowledge that it'll all end in tears... Jamie knows damn well that the HIV he contracted from an unfaithful lover has put him out of the dating game forever in the small town of Santa Vera. Tom lost his legs in Afghanistan, and got new ones, yeah, but with a side order of PTSD to go, he thought grimly. The real problem is that only now does he realize he's gay, now that the revelation would be just one too many things to put his family through, after everything else they've had to deal with. So both men grin and bear the loneliness, put their feelings on a shelf, even as Jamie's volunteer stint at CCC turns into friendship and, despite their resolve, something more...
