Ambushed and left for dead, U.S. Secret Service K-9 Officer Markus York is on the mend and laying low in a safe house while his team tracks down his attacker. But Markus isn’t good at sitting still. Even with his K-9, Ghost, for company, he gets restless and decides now is the perfect time to do some repairs around the house…and inadvertently tears open his wounds.
Fresh out of a bad relationship that ended after a car accident left her with limited mobility, freelance accountant Cassidy Morgan has sworn off men. At least, that’s the plan. Until a frantically barking dog leads her to a neighbor’s house where she finds a mysterious man out cold and bleeding on the floor...and mumbling things like “no, they’ll find me” when she tries to call an ambulance.
Yeah, that’s not at all concerning.
Despite Markus’s surly attitude, Cassidy senses there’s something else at work beneath his rugged, keep-your-distance exterior. Whatever it is, it’s sexy as hell.
With someone still trying to kill him, Markus doesn’t want an innocent to get hurt, let alone take care of him.
If only his dog wasn’t crazy in love with her.
If only the chemistry between Markus and Cassidy didn’t explode whenever they were in the same room.
If only Cassidy wasn’t a target now, too.
My rating:
When a huge, white German Shepherd crushes through her window, Cassidy Morgan doesn't know it, but her life is about to change. In the scope of one day, she would help her next-door neighbor's friend into the hospital, get shot at and then get recruited by the Secret Service to babysit one of their own...a taciturn, brooding gorgeous hunk with an equally gorgeous dog...
Apparently, this series (or maybe author) just isn't for me. The ratings keep dropping and the stories more formulaic, dull and predictable. It's all the same, really. A K-9 officer meets the woman of her dreams, people try to kill them, there's something bigger afoot, the guy's dog also falls for the woman, either of both of them have emotional baggage, they hit the sheets, they break up, he saves her butt, they get back together.
In the case of this one, even the suspense was predictable, including the baddies and the motivation behind their shenanigans.
In the end, I started skimming pages, which isn't a good result.
