About this ebook

I lost my mentor, my K9 partner, and damn near my will to live. But when a ruthless killer targets a woman on the run, I'll do whatever it takes to save her.

Still grieving over too many losses in my life, I've got no room for more distractions. But though my instincts scream to keep my distance from Jules Jackson, I can't seem to stay away. It doesn't help that my new K9 companion has fallen head over paws for Jules's rambunctious family.

Or that when I'm with her, I finally feel peace.

In the heart of the beautifully rugged Colorado Rockies, Jules offers me a safe place to land, and to heal. With her warmth and compassion, it's no mystery why my K9 can't live without her either. But neither of us were prepared for the dangerous threat lurking so close to home...

And this time, there's no escape.

**potentially minor spoilers ahead** I feels so bad for Jules and her siblings. While Ruggle never gives you 100% of what her stepmom did to them, you get enough to know it really wasn’t good. And that she didn’t have a lot of choice but to get them out any way she could. It’s not an easy choice but she tried to go the normal route and get legal custody but was thwarted time and again. When you run out of options and you are desperate … They end up in a little mountain town in Colorado. And in the sights of a sexy, but super broody, K9 cop. He’s dealing with some issues of his own, which makes him not the best of company right now. Throw in a jumpy waitress who has reason to be afraid of the law and it sends his spidey senses tingling :) I’m not sure how realistic it is to think that someone who is on the run would have ANYTHING to do with someone who could easily throw them in jail – and there is a lot of back and forth about it – but Theo does give her reason to trust him. The fact that he so easily lets her keep her secret also might not be all that realistic but he’s willing to believe his gut that says she’s a good person and see how it plays out. And since it looks like there is a chance that the rest of this series will be interconnected with Jules, we may get to see how that goes. So that’s her side, but there is a whole other part of the story about his issues with the death of his partner, trouble with his new K9 partner, plus some baddies that do deadly things around town. It all meshes well into a romantic suspense story that will have you caught up until the final unmasking … and ready to find out what happens when the next cop finds himself falling for a girl with trouble on her tail. *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s. ***

Suspenseful and witty! More story than romance. A really good story!
