Serve 'N' Protect

by Tee O'Fallon

Overview

Ambushed and left for dead, U.S. Secret Service K-9 Officer Markus York is on the mend and laying low in a safe house while his team tracks down his attacker. But Markus isn’t good at sitting still. Even with his K-9, Ghost, for company, he gets restless and decides now is the perfect time to do some repairs around the house…and inadvertently tears open his wounds.

Fresh out of a bad relationship that ended after a car accident left her with limited mobility, freelance accountant Cassidy Morgan has sworn off men. At least, that’s the plan. Until a frantically barking dog leads her to a neighbor’s house where she finds a mysterious man out cold and bleeding on the floor...and mumbling things like “no, they’ll find me” when she tries to call an ambulance.

Yeah, that’s not at all concerning.

Despite Markus’s surly attitude, Cassidy senses there’s something else at work beneath his rugged, keep-your-distance exterior. Whatever it is, it’s sexy as hell.

With someone still trying to kill him, Markus doesn’t want an innocent to get hurt, let alone take care of him.

If only his dog wasn’t crazy in love with her.

If only the chemistry between Markus and Cassidy didn’t explode whenever they were in the same room.

If only Cassidy wasn’t a target now, too.

After a car accident that killed her fiancé and almost took her life, Cassidy Morgan started working from home as an accountant to better manage her recovery. The sound of a breaking window draws her to the door where her neighbor's dog is waiting for her. She follows the dog back to its house where she discovers her neighbor collapsed on the floor. When she wakes him up, he won't let her call an ambulance but doesn't tell her it's because he's in hiding. U.S. Secret Service K-9 Officer Markus York was attacked at his home but survived. Now he and his partner, Ghost, are staying low while he recovers and his team hunts the person who stabbed him and murdered another officer. When Cassidy also becomes a target, they must work together to find out who is after them, and if their feelings are just a result of proximity—or something more. VERDICT Readers who like novels centering on dogs will enjoy this fifth book in O'Fallon's "Federal K-9" series (after Armed 'n' Ready). The physical and emotional injuries of the main characters add impact to the plot, even though readers might figure out part of the mystery early on.—Melanie C.
