Honor On Base by Annie Carlisle

He’s got his orders. She’s got her walls. And one mischievous German Shepherd is about to change everything.

Dr. Callie Harper has exactly zero patience for cocky Air Force pilots—especially ones who can’t control their dogs. But when Captain Dean “Bingo” Mercer stumbles into her veterinary clinic chasing a runaway K9, his dimpled grin and quick wit make it hard to stay annoyed. Even if he is clearly trouble in a flight suit.
Dean knows he should focus on his upcoming reenlistment decision: sign the papers and deploy overseas, or leave the Air Force to join his brother’s K9 security company in Texas. What he doesn’t need is a distraction. But the sharp-tongued vet who called him out on day one? She’s not just a distraction—she’s everything he didn’t know he was looking for.
Their banter turns to heat, and stolen moments become something real. But when Dean’s orders come due, the clock runs out on their borrowed time. He can’t stay in Pine Valley, and Callie’s entire life is rooted there—her business, her home, everything she’s built from the ground up.
Now Dean has to prove he’s not asking her to follow him—he’s asking her to build something with him. And Callie has to decide if staying safe is the same as being happy, or if the scariest leap of all is the one worth taking.
Because sometimes home isn’t a place. It’s a choice.

Honor on Base is a small-town military romance bursting with sizzling chemistry, playful banter, and a grumpy-meets-sunshine love story sure to sweep you away.
