to protect a baby in danger

When patrol officer Trisha McCord's six-month-old son is nearly abducted, K-9 officer West Cole saves him just in time. The single mom has no leads on who would try to take her baby—or why. And West won’t let her deal with the threat on her own, especially with the kidnapper closing in and attacks escalating. With her child’s life at stake, Trisha, West and his K-9, Peanut, must race to catch a ruthless criminal in time to save innocent lives—including their own.

Deadly Badlands Pursuit
A K-9 team has a witness to defend…

and a murderer to track.

She and her K-9 partner, Bane, fight off the assailant—but to protect Cameron, they must escape into South Dakota’s treacherous Badlands. Tracking dangerous enemies is what Gracie does, and Cameron’s life in witness protection has left targets on his back. With a killer waiting in the shadows, Gracie and Cameron must work fast to uncover the truth about who wants him dead…if they want to stay alive.

Standing Watch
To protect an innocent witness…

a K-9 must sniff out a killer.

When K-9 task force officer Zach Kelsey’s estranged wife is attacked at a Mount Rushmore observation deck, he and his K-9, Amber, are quick to come to her rescue. He discovers not only that Eden, a park ranger, is carrying his child, but that she saw her coworker’s murder. As the only witness to the crime, Eden has no choice but to accept Zach’s protection. But with a ruthless killer ramping up his vicious attacks, they must put their differences aside to catch the murderer…before Eden becomes his next target.
