Second Chance Soldier, the first in the series, Amber Belott has returned home to the K-9 ranch begun by her father, who was recently murdered. In his loving memory, and to help her mother, she’s determined to keep the ranch going despite her dad having never taught her to train dogs. She searches for the right head trainer—and is highly impressed by the demonstration provided by former military K-9 officer Evan Colluro. She hires the sexy and skilled trainer on the spot—without realizing he has a mild form of PTSD.
But Evan’s skills outweigh his past—and as Amber and Evan work together to bring more students to the ranch for pet and K-9 dog training, and to find the truth about what happened to Amber’s dad, their attraction becomes undeniable.

Second Chance Soldier is dedicated to all dogs and those who train them, including police and military K-9s.
And, as I always do, I dedicate this book to my wonderful husband, Fred. Good thing he likes dogs, too.
Since I have been well trained by my dogs so far, and not so much vice versa, I want to thank everyone who advised me about dog training. That includes the Hollywood Dog Obedience Club and its wonderful officers, trainers and members I’ve met. They have shown me what pet dog training is all about.
I have also watched several demonstrations of police K-9s in the Los Angeles area, which have proved to be fascinating and useful, and I have additionally been privileged enough to have had discussions with some K-9 officers. I particularly want to thank the Glendale Police Department and its K-9 unit, most especially Officer Shawn Sholtis and his K-9, Idol.
Thank you all!
Of course, Second Chance Soldier is a work of fiction, so if anything seems incorrect that’s because I’ve modified reality to fit the story.
Many thanks also to my wonderful editor, Allison Lyons, and my fantastic agent, Paige Wheeler.
