Operation K-9 Brothers Sandra Owens

Romantic suspense powerhouse Sandra Owens kicks off a new K9-centric series in which an injured Navy SEAL finds new purpose--and romance--training companion dogs for wounded warriors.

Navy SEAL Jack Daniels (save the jokes, he's heard them all) and his trusty Belgian Malinois sidekick Dakota are back home in Asheville, North Carolina after a bomb left them scarred. Unable to accept that he'll never be able to return to his team, Jack is looking for a miracle. What he isn't looking for is a permanent relationship, though he's open to no-strings distraction at the magic hands of gorgeous local potter Nichole Masters.

Nichole is on a losing streak with men. Her ex-boyfriend won't stay gone, a competitor is out to ruin her business, and even her rescue pup Rambo is refusing to get in line. A chance run in with a Navy SEAL-turned-canine companion trainer might solve the dog problem--the fact Jack is easy on the eyes doesn't hurt, either.

But when Nichole feels like she's being watched, Jack is the only person she can turn to. He's a protector and problem solver by nature and training. Accepting his protection is one thing--Nichole didn't count on falling in love.
