Avoiding the Badge

In this steamy contemporary romance trilogy opener, a veterinarian fights the urge to get her paws on a sexy dog owner who’s also a cop.

JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED

Rayna Michaels may be a veterinarian, but she knows a little something about the human heart—especially when it comes to worried pet owners. Law enforcement’s bonds with their K9 partners are legendary, and Derek Hansen is a perfect example—he’s had his dog Axle in more times than Rayna can count in the last few months. And Derek’s sculpted muscles and heart-stopping smile would be truly irresistible, if only he wasn’t an officer of the law . . .

Derek can’t get Rayna’s stunning face and no-nonsense smarts out of his mind. Any excuse to see her will do, until he works up the nerve to ask her out. He’s not sure where her resistance to cops comes from, though he’s more than willing to prove he’s one of the good ones. But when casual dating turns into explosive lovemaking, Derek knows he must come clean about his past before the woman he loves finds out what he’s been hiding and turns tail to run . . .

“Strong women and the men who love them, sassy, sexy dialogue and a deliciously emotional roller coaster ride—these are the hallmarks of a Dorothy F. Shaw romance!” —Megan Hart, New York Times–bestselling author of Tear You Apart
