Invisible Wounds

Terrorists tried to kill her. It took a dog to save her...

Former US Army CID agent Kate Holland endured eleven horrific hours as a POW in Afghanistan—hours she doesn’t fully remember. Now medically retired, her badge and confidence are gone. Back in her Arkansas hometown, Kate is ready to surrender to her demons and put her affairs in order.

But when a fellow vet loses his private battle, Kate takes on his final request. Fulfilling it drags her into a stateside war she never saw coming—one that forces her to face both external threats and the wreckage inside herself.

At the very edge of that fight, Kate saves the life of a wounded German Shepherd pup. In his eyes, she sees what she’s been missing all along: a reason to keep going.

🎬 Hailed as "gripping and unforgettable", this series has been optioned by a Hollywood producer.

🔥 Written by a former US Navy Lt., this series is a real as it gets. There is a dog, but this is not a cozy mystery series.

If you like strong, female protagonists and seriously gritty, complex suspense that twists and turns all the way to The End, you'll love Candace Irving's Hidden Valor series.
