KILLER HEADLINE
Reporter Madison Coles wants to write an exposé on the crime spree rocking Desert Valley, Arizona—but the small town’s residents and police are tight-lipped. Even when Madison herself is attacked, the only help she can get is protection from rookie K-9 officer James Harrison and his trusty bloodhound. Suspicious of the reporter’s motives, the handsome cop keeps her at arm’s length. But the more Madison’s life is threatened, the more focused she is on finding the truth—and the closer she gets to James. Can he help her find the story without them both ending up in the obituary pages?
Rookie K-9 Unit: These lawmen solve the toughest cases with the help of their brave canine partners
“Help me,” Madison managed to whisper to the figure backlit from the sun.
Dust stung her eyes, grit caking her mouth. She did not realize it was James who had entered until his face appeared in the gap under the desk.
“Madison?” He wore an expression of unadulterated surprise and relief. “Thank You, God,” he said.
“I was sitting here saying the same thing,” she replied, crawling out from under the desk. The trailer had collapsed. Someone had made it collapse. Her stomach was flip-flopping madly at the sight of him.
“Are you hurt?” he asked.
She managed a shake of her head before he clutched her to him for just a moment, held tightly against his wide chest, feeling the mad thundering of his heart.
“You’re really okay, then?” he repeated.
“I’m okay.”
But someone didn’t want her to be.

Remember ye not the former things,
neither consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;
shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
—Isaiah 43:18–19
To those faithful K-9 officers and their police handlers, thank you for your dedication and service.
