Everyone's favourite police dogs are back in this special
seasonal edition for a TEXAS K9 UNIT CHRISTMAS.
HOLIDAY HERO by Shirlee McCoy introduces Emma Fairchild,
who has come to Sagebrush from Boston. Her partner gave her
an ultimatum - get engaged, or break it off if she insisted
on going to Texas to care for her great-aunt. Well, Emma
doesn't regret leaving. She's taken on a restaurant at a
low price because the former owner died suddenly, and as
Christmas nears she's busy painting. Then an intruder
grabs her and demands money - she hasn't any. Lieutenant
Lucas Harwood is patrolling nearby with his K9 Henry, a
German Shepherd, and spotting the back door swinging open,
they investigate and find Emma injured on the floor. With
Emma in an ambulance, Lucas and Henry trace the intruder's
scent. Henry leaps over a trash bin and takes off
running....
RESCUING CHRISTMAS by Terri Reed starts with a woman being
pursued through woods during a December storm. She's a dog
trainer called Lily Anderson. Nearby, a vehicle driven by
a new K9 handler skids on black ice, then slews off the
road to avoid hitting the running woman. Officer Jarrod
Evans immediately summons assistance; his pup Maxine is
okay because she's crated in the back, but the woman is
hurt. He's amazed to recognise Lily. In hospital, Lily
tells him that she was abducted from a parking lot. She's
adamant that God must have sent Jarrod to intercept her
right at that time. Why someone wanted to harm her, she
has no idea. Since Jarrod would be working with Lily
anyway, he and Max, a Dutch Shepherd, are assigned to
protect her, with a female officer taking over at night.
But Lily's barely stepped inside her home when someone's at
her throat....
The decorations strung around Sagebrush make a sharp
contrast with the fast-moving suspense stories and the
weather plays a bitter part in events. Familiar faces, and
their K9 partners, make a welcome appearance. Romance
blooms slowly as various characters have their own reasons
for staying single - "You're good-looking, nice and
employed," says a lady to Jarrod, when he disputes that
it's unusual for him to be unattached. But gradually
achieved mutual trust forges bonds which lead to love in
this TEXAS K9 UNIT CHRISTMAS.
Emma Fairchild never expected to find trouble in sleepy
Sagebrush, Texas. But when she's attacked and left for dead
in her own diner, her childhood friend turned K-9 cop Lucas
Harwood offers a chance at justice—and love.
Rescuing Christmas by Terri Reed
She escaped a kidnapper, but now a killer has set his sights
on K-9 dog trainer Lily Anderson. When fellow officer Jarrod
Evans appoints himself her bodyguard, Lily knows more than
her life is at risk—so is her heart.
