Chasing JusticeShe thought she’d never trust again…
After losing her military K-9, former marine Maya Thompson swears she’ll never work with dogs again. But when she returns home to Colorado and accepts a job with US Forest Service law enforcement, fate brings K-9 Juniper into her life just as another tragedy unfolds. Juniper, a beautiful two-year-old Malinois, isn’t the only new addition to Maya’s life. Josh Colten, the local deputy sheriff, insists on helping with her new case. Handsome and mysterious, he’s all anyone in town can talk about, but Maya can’t let herself like him, let alone trust him. When Maya’s grandfather goes missing amid a growing drug war, Maya must put her faith in Josh, and her own battered instincts, to find him. But there's a web of secrets tying her grandfather to the tragedy that brought Juniper into her life—secrets someone would kill to keep hidden. "Chasing Justice is an exciting debut with a terrific new crime fighting duo—U.S. Forest Service Officer Maya Thompson and her K-9 partner Juniper. An experienced drug dog handler herself, Kathleen Donnelly delivers an authentic thriller with plenty of outdoor action. A must read for dog lovers and crime fiction lovers alike." ~Margaret Mizushima, author of the award-winning Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries, including Hanging Falls
