About This Book
When three stolen bloodhound puppies become the key to unraveling a dangerous drug ring, K-9 officer Asher Gilmore and trainer Peyton Burns have no choice but to go undercover—as a married couple. The fake marriage premise alone would be compelling, but Maggie K. Black layers it with genuine peril, a ticking clock, and the kind of emotional tension that comes from two people forced into close quarters while trying to ignore what's growing between them. With an underwater-detection dog as unexpected backup and criminals who are far more ruthless than anticipated, the stakes feel real at every turn.
Black writes with the sharp, economical prose that defines the best inspirational suspense—scenes move quickly, danger feels immediate, and the faith element is woven naturally into the characters' choices rather than dropped in as an afterthought. As the seventh installment in the Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit series, this entry stands fully on its own while rewarding readers who've followed the team from the beginning. The romance earns its resolution, the suspense keeps pages turning, and the Pacific Northwest setting adds texture without slowing the pace.
