After his tour of duty, Charlie Wakefield goes against his wealthy family’s wishes to make his own way.

Worse, Anita is dog sitting a tiny Chihuahua named Samson and that pooch gives new meaning to the term alpha male. Anita calls Charlie her hero after he saves a family from a fire. Charlie realizes he wants to be a hero, even to a rat-dog, but first he must give his heart to the woman who has taught him laughter and love.
