Romantic Suspense: Doggy Style

With: D. D. Ayres

Congratulations to "Laura C." the winner in D.D.'s giveaway. Thank you to all who participated!

I’m always looking for fresh ways to entertain readers.  The notion of mixing Romance and Suspense is a natural.  After all, the most suspenseful times in a relationship is the period when two people are trying to figure out if they should be a “we.”  Sweaty palms, anxious glances, great highs, and long dark nights of soul-searching are romance standards whether historical, contemporary, sweet, erotic, or inspiring.  Add in a very real threat to the lovers’ lives and the story goes into overdrive.  But it’s been done.  How to add a twist?

Who doesn’t love dogs?  The K-9 Rescue Series showcases highly skilled, intelligent, and amazing K9s of First Responder and Service fame.  Meet my canine heroes and heroines of the K-9 Rescue Series.  

1. ZANDER   is a yellow Lab who works explosives detection with his handler FBI Agent Brad Lawson in NECESSARY FORCE.  Laidback but totally dedicated to the job, Zander is the first to realize that photographer Georgie Flynn is more than an assignment for his boss.  When things get dicey, Zander’s detection skills takes top priority in a deadly game of beat the clock

2. BOGART   is a Belgian Malinois from IRRESISTIBLE FORCE who gets the girl first.  Prince Charming isn’t just a nickname but an attitude for this Police K-9.  While handler Officer James Canon is more than a pretty face, Bogart give him plenty of competition for Shay Appleton’s heart when someone begins stalking her, and threatening her life.

3. Two for one in FORCE OF ATTRACTION.  
Don’t let his cute looks fool you.  Police K9 HUGO, is a big brawny Batman in the Dear suit!  No surprise he falls for the discreet and highly particular Chocolate Lab drug detection K9, IZZY. There’s a double-dip of romance as
they sniff around each. When their handlers, DEA Agent Scott Lucca and Officer Cole Jamison go undercover together, the fur and the sparks fly.

4. Coming soon, SAMANTHA    the Golden Doodle PTSD service dog in the upcoming PRIMAL FORCE.  It’s a case of “Cutie and Beast” when “Sam” plays cupid between wounded veteran Lauray Battise and K9 Trainer Jori Garrison.

IRRESISTIBLE FORCE

WHEN ADRENALINE RUNS HIGH, SO DOES THE FORCE OF DESIRE...

For Shay Appleton, it's love at first sight when a gorgeous stray dog is brought into the animal shelter where she works. She knows he'll make a terrific watch dog - and with an abusive ex who won't let go, she needs all the protection she can get. But Shay never suspected that her new pet is actually a trained police K-9 named Bogart - until Bogart's even more gorgeous, human partner shows up on her doorstep.

IRRESISTIBLE FORCE


Officer James Cannon is one tall, strong alpha male who's convinced that Shay stole his dog.  But once he gets closer to the suspect, he realizes that this stubborn, independent woman not only needs a guard dog, she needs James as well. It seems that someone from her past is stalking her and threatening her life. When danger meets desire, will James rish his career and his best friend...to protect the woman who's stolen his heart?
