    About this series

    How Is a Missing Military Working Dog Connected to Two Local Fires?

    Snuggle with your trusty hound and settle into a small-town mystery in book 6 of the Gone to the Dogs mysteries.

    Air Force veteran Dr. Lane Bishop and Nora Hernandez’s romance has cooled. He is busy working as a researcher at the vet school, and she’s busy with her restaurant and opening an antique shop. What Lane hasn’t told her is his PTSD, which manifests mostly with nightmares, makes him believe he’s damaged goods. But that is about to change when he meets a stray pup that acts a lot like a military working dog.

    When a tornado hits Brenham, there is damage in the downtown area and a fire ignites in Nora’s new store. A Belgian Malinois dog is seen at the fire, and later Lane sees him at a wedding venue where an explosion occurs. Not long after, a second explosion rocks Brenham and sends Nora and Lane on a hunt for the person responsible.

    Will the pair find the guilty party before more damage is done to the city’s landmarks? And will Lane find the words to tell Nora how much he loves her before it’s too late?

      Ruby's love life has gone to the dogs. Literally. Ruby always longed for adventure-hiking for months on end or living like a gypsy in an RV-but instead, she settled for a comfortable relationship with a man who worshipped her. That is until he died, leaving her a teardrop trailer and the permission to find her adventure and a true love who would curl her toes. What did she wind up with? A stray dog who just might be her dead husband reincarnated and a good-looking photographer sniffing after her who thinks Ruby is fantastic. The dog is not amused. Ruby is conflicted. Can Ruby move past the pain of losing her husband, follow her heart, and find what she has always been looking for? Can her dog stop growling at men long enough for her to figure out what she wants? Can any man tolerate the package that is Ruby and the dog, George?

      There's hope on the horizon . . . if the dog doesn't blow it. Joe left Assateague Island with his tiny trailer and an invitation for Ruby to follow. She longs for adventure and companionship, but is she ready? George, her dog, who just might be her dead husband reincarnated, is making decisions difficult. One minute he seems to like Joe. The next minute, the dog is baring his teeth at the man. Ruby decides to follow Joe at her own pace, pulling her little teardrop trailer behind with George in the front seat riding shotgun. She wants to catch up with the man, but on her terms, in her own time. Things don't always work out as planned. Bad burritos, unexpected babies, too much moonshine, what next? Will Ruby find love on the road? Will Joe be able to wait for Ruby to come to terms with being a widow and finally moving on? Will the damn dog decide that Joe is a suitable suitor? Or is this a freeway accident waiting to happen?
