Trusting the Badge

<p><strong>For members of a police K9 Unit partnership is everything—in work and in love.</strong><br /> <br /><strong>LOVE AT FIRST NIGHT . . .</strong><br /><br /> Shuttled between her alcoholic parents and foster homes that separated her from beloved younger brother Steven it’s no wonder Tish Beck is a woman with trust issues. To avoid getting hurt—or hurting someone else—she’s kept her romantic life commitment-free and that’s fine by her. Until she meets exasperatingly hot funny smart-ass K9 officer Jeffrey Pearl and stupidly spends the night with him . . .<br /> <br /> Currently single and content Jeff’s always got his canine bestie Rio by his side and loads of human friends. He enjoys the occasional close encounter but hasn’t been tempted into anything serious. Until Tish. He’s inexplicably head over heels. Too bad she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length. But when Tish’s brother winds up in jail—<em>again</em>—Jeff’s glad to be the man Tish turns to for help. And with Steven back on the scene she’ll need it. Soon Tish will have to open her eyes—and her heart—to love and realize where and with whom her safety truly lies . . .</p>
