The second World War nearly wiped out England''s treasured Mastiffs, but a dog from the States is ready to revive this nearly extinct breed.

World War II changed everything for Kitty Rose. A war widow running both a California ranch and winery, Kitty barely has time for regret and loss. When her father brings home two English mastiff puppies to raise, and Kitty learns that the war in England brought the treasured dogs to near extinction. With the help of a handsome veterinarian, she rushes headlong into her dream of helping the English restore the breed. 

Veterinarian Doug Marsh is changed by the war, too. An interrupted career, an impulsive English marriage, the loss of a best friend to Japanese American internment lie heavily on Doug''s mind. When a chance visit to Rose Ranch to treat two English mastiff puppies upends his life, he struggles with his pledge to help Kitty Rose get dogs sent to England, along with his growing attraction to her.
