Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick
Houston is as tough as they come, and he and his K-9, Saxon, are hot on the
trail of a major illegal gun dealer. But his best lead—the beautiful owner of
the Dog Park Café, Andi Hardt––is not cooperating. Doesn’t matter how sexy she
is, or that his dog seems to be in love with her. She’s a suspect and he won’t
cross that line. Ever.
Andi Hardt sank everything into her
dream business—the Dog Park Café, a restaurant catering to dogs as much as
people. Now everything is in jeopardy because of one extremely frustrating,
incredibly hot state trooper. Like it or not, she’s in Nick’s crosshairs, and
he’s calling the shots. Her only option: cooperate, or lose everything she’s
worked so hard for.
Nick and Andi are catapulted straight into the
danger zone, forcing them to make life-altering choices, and face their
desires. Risking his life for Andi is the easy part. Risking his heart is the
toughest assignment Nick will face.
Excerpt
She finished setting a table at the far end of the deck, then
paused to look into the dog run. Her profile was to him, and he could see a
smile forming on her lips, but it was short-lived. Slowly, she turned,
searching the tables she hadn’t gotten to yet, and he understood what she was
looking for. Him. Dogs like Saxon
were distinctive in size and color. There was only one of him within at least a
several-hundred-mile radius, and wherever Saxon was, Nick was.
When she finally found him, her eyes narrowed to slits and her
lips compressed into a thin line. With the tray still in her hand, she took a
deep breath and headed straight to his table with long, determined strides.
So much for their little truce yesterday afternoon. She had to
know something was up.
“Good morning,” he said when she came to stand beside his
outstretched legs. From the irritated gleam in her eyes, he thought she might
dump the tray over his head.
She set down the tray and crossed her arms. “What are you
doing here?”
A light breeze brought with it her scent, all flowery and
pretty. No matter how much he wished
otherwise, he couldn’t deny it. Something about her torqued every one of his
senses.
“Can’t a guy get some relaxation while he’s watching his dog
play?” He locked his hands behind his head and looked up at her.
“I have no doubt this is not
a social call. For you or your
partner.” She jerked her head to the dog run.
“And you accused me
of being overly suspicious?” He clucked his tongue. He was beginning to enjoy
this. “Now who’s being suspicious?”
Her lips compressed into an even thinner line. “I’m not
stupid, Sgt. Houston.” She yanked out the chair next to his, then sat and
leaned into his personal space. With her blue eyes and sun-kissed complexion,
she was just as lovely as he remembered. “I know you want something. You said
you don’t deal in bullshit, so how about doing me the courtesy of getting to
the real reason you’re here.”
“Fine.” He unlocked his hands from behind his head and leaned
in until their faces were only inches apart. Bad idea. This close and his senses were more than going into
overdrive—they were sparking with ignition.
Her sweet scent was in his nose and lungs. Her warm breath
fanned his face like a gentle caress.
The job, he reminded
himself.
He hadn’t acted since college, but he could do it, and he
wouldn’t fail.
Showtime. Act I, Scene I, starring Nick Houston.
“Until Joe Myer shows up, I’m your new
bartender.”
