I hope you’ve enjoyed this story of Officer Carter Jameson and his partner, Frosty. Together, they made a dynamic team perfectly suited to protect and fall in love with reporter Rachelle Clark. Carter and Rachelle both had issues from their past they had to overcome before they could let down the walls around their hearts.
Writing this story against the backdrop of New York City was a treat. I lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan as a young adult and the experience was one I treasure. Combining my love of the city with K-9 dogs and handlers was a special joy for me. Plus, working with such a wonderful group of authors and editors is always a blessing.
The next book in the series, Trail of Danger by Valerie Hansen, will be released September 2019—you won’t want to miss it.
You’ll be able to find the whole continuity series on www.Harlequin.com.
Blessings,
Terri Reed
