Dear Reader,

I love dogs. I volunteer for a dog rescue. I’ve trained and obedience shown dogs. So imagine my delight when I got to write about a dog as amazing as Goose! My editor for this particular book had done her research, which she kindly shared with me. I had no idea dogs could be trained to detect computer storage drives! Fun and fascinating, to say the least. And give me a hero who partners with a police dog like this, and I’m in love.

This story was so enjoyable to write. Layla Colton is a many-faceted, successful career woman, yet she’d never felt able to earn her father’s approval. And Hunter Black is her opposite in many ways. Sexy, confident and capable, he stands by her when she’s falsely accused of a crime she didn’t commit.

Add in a serial killer, a town on edge and many obstacles to their love, and you have quite the entertaining ride, I hope you enjoy reading about Layla and Hunter’s love story—and Goose—as much as I enjoyed writing it.
