While writing, I often fall a little in love with my characters. This time, itโs
the real thing. And I donโt think Iโm going to get over them. Let me introduce
you to the heroes and heroines of my new K-9 Rescue series. Theyโre the
highly-skilled, intelligent, and physically amazing components of law
enforcement, first responder, and service fame. Theyโre also good kissers, great
to have around in a dicey situation, and totally loyal. They just happen have
furry coats and four paws.
1. Zander
Zander is a yellow Lab who works explosives detection with his handler FBI Agent
Brad Lawson in the novella
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, Zanderโs detection skills take
top priority in a deadly game of beat the clock with a would-be bomber.
2. Bogart
Bogart is the Belgian Malinois from
Irresistible
Force. โPrince Charmingโ isnโt just a nickname but an attitude for this
Police K-9. He gets the girl first! While handler Officer James Canon is more
than a pretty face, Bogart give him plenty of competition for Shay Appletonโs
heart when someone begins stalking her, and threatening her life.
3. Hugo and Izzy
Thereโs a double-dip of romance in
FORCE OF ATTRACTION.
Donโt let
Hugoโs cute-puppy looks fool you. This Bouvier Des Flandres
Police K-9 is ninety-five lb. of brawny Batman muscle in the Bear suit! But
when this Alpha falls for a reserved and highly-particular drug detecting
Chocolate Lab K-9 named,
Izzy heโs putty in her paws. When their
handlers, DEA Agent Scott Lucca and Officer Cole Jamison go undercover together,
the fur and the sparks fly for both K-9 duos.
4. Samantha
This Golden Doodle PTSD service dog is front and center in my September release:
PRIMAL FORCE.
She even has a point of view. Itโs a case of โCutie and The Beastโ when
Samantha chooses as her new handler wounded military Police K-9 veteran Lauray
โLawโ Battise. The only thing Law likes about the arrangement is her sexy
service dog trainer, Jori Garrison. Dubbed a useless โCheese Doodleโ by Law,
Samantha shows what sheโs really made of when disaster threatens all their lives.
So there you have it. The roster so far. With three more books to come, Iโll be
adding to my K-9 Woof! Pack. Theyโve totally won my heart! I hope they will yours.
A veteran author of romance and womenโs fiction, D.D. Ayres is new to Romantic
Suspense. She believes the lure of romance is always the human connection. Put
that connection in physical jeopardy, and we learn a bit more about who we
really are. D.D. hopes you will enjoy her sexy, suspenseful portrayals of K-9
teams at their best.
D.D. lives in Texas with her husband and a soft-coated Wheaten terrier named Zoe.
About FORCE OF ATTRACTION
The only thing more powerful than fear is desire.
A seasoned K-9 officer with the police in Maryland, Cole Jamison has left her
old life behind her. With a new home and a new partnerโa protective canine named
HugoโCole is ready for fresh challenges. A crucial position on an important drug
task force is exactly what she wants...until she discovers her gorgeous,
infuriating ex-husband will be the DEA agent in charge.
Agent Scott Lucca may be a pro when it comes to undercover assignments, but this
job is daunting even for him. Posing as a happy couple on the dog competition
circuit means he and Cole need to get a lot closer than theyโve been in years.
Playing a live-in couple should seem like a walk in the park compared to
tracking a brutal criminal, but suddenly nothing could be more dangerous than
the passionate fire theyโve rekindled...
"In a few words FORCE OF ATTRACTION has dogs, man, woman, danger, suspense,
love and happily ever after ... what more could you ask for?"~Fresh Fiction
