A passionate instructor, a student with a secret, a fiery romance neither expected. Will her secrets be the end of not only their relationship, but Watchdog Protectors as well?
Retired Navy SEAL and military working dog handler Alex Hoff came to Colorado hoping to find peace in a small town tucked against the Rocky Mountains. He never expected to fall for a feisty police officer enrolled in the advanced police dog training class he teaches at Watchdog Protectors. Besides being a dog lover, Sylvie is smart, beautiful, and committed to doing good in the world. For now they must keep their relationship a secret until Sylvie graduates to the K9 Unit.
Officer Sylvia Madden would never admit to being in over her head. She’s seen everything from both sides and chose police work to pay forward the protection that saved her as a kid living alone on the streets of Denver. When she’s sabotaged within her own department, she must decide if she can continue her secret relationship with Alex or give up the man she loves to keep him safe.
As their romance heats up so does the danger surrounding their small town of Lyons, Colorado. When the last night of the local music festival turns deadly and Sylvie goes missing, Alex, Tex, Wolf, and the Watchdog team must find the truth. Is she a corrupt cop, or a pawn in a global game? And will Alex and the team have to make a deal with the devil to get her back?
