Hunt: A North Star K-9 Unit Book 2
He uses humor to hide his ghosts. She uses rules to keep the world at bay.
But when the flood hits, the only thing that can save them is each other.
Sgt. Finn "Joker" Malloy hasn't let anyone get close in three years — not since a breached door took his entire team. Now he talks to his K-9 partner, cracks jokes nobody asked for, and treats every assignment like a punishment he's already survived. His latest? Babysitting an uptight intelligence analyst at a Cold War bunker in the path of a historic flood.
Agent Sage Enright trusts data, protocol, and the chain of command — in that order. She does not trust the reckless handler with the scar through his eyebrow or his muddy, eighty-five-pound German Shepherd who thinks her tactical pants are a pillow. She just needs to verify the signals and get back to civilization before the storm hits.
Then the signals turn real.
A crashed plane loaded with cartel cash. A pilot executed in the mud. And a ledger full of names that should never be in the same sentence — including agents from their own agency.
Sage follows protocol and calls for rescue. The tactical team that drops out of the clouds isn't there to save them.
They're there to bury the evidence. And everyone who's seen it.
Hunted by a corrupt kill squad, cut off by rising floodwaters, and forced to survive with nothing but each other and a dog whose instincts are sharper than any weapon, Finn and Sage must strip away every mask they've built to make it through the night. She'll have to trust the man behind the jokes. He'll have to let someone close enough to save.
Because the water is rising. And Ruckus has already decided — she's pack.
In this heart-pounding clean romantic suspense, a rule-follower and a rebel discover that the most dangerous thing in the wilderness isn't the killers on the ridge. It's what happens when you stop running from each other.

Book 2 in this series is another hit for this author. Finn and Sage are great characters. Ruckus the dog is a great sidekick for Finn. Our couple have to run from the bad guys and there are really bad guys in this story. The plot is well written, there are nail biting moments and a happy ever after. I did enjoy this book.
