She thought she’d never trust again…
After losing her military K-9, former marine Maya Thompson swears she’ll never work with dogs again. But when she returns home to Colorado and accepts a job with US Forest Service law enforcement, fate brings K-9 Juniper into her life just as another tragedy unfolds.
Juniper, a beautiful two-year-old Malinois, isn’t the only new addition to Maya’s life. Josh Colten, the local deputy sheriff, insists on helping with her new case. Handsome and mysterious, he’s all anyone in town can talk about, but Maya can’t let herself like him, let alone trust him.
When Maya’s grandfather goes missing amid a growing drug war, Maya must put her faith in Josh, and her own battered instincts, to find him. But there's a web of secrets tying her grandfather to the tragedy that brought Juniper into her life—secrets someone would kill to keep hidden.

What a great story this turned out to be. It was even better than I had hoped for.
Awesome main character which include K-9 Juniper. I loved how the emotions and the personal struggles in the story were shown. And there were plenty of struggles especially for Maya. I also loved how it was shown the bond between Maya and Juniper. How "the dance" between the handler and the K-9 was explained. It was vivid and easy to feel. I really enjoyed the saying about the breed of K-9 Juniper was. "When God made the Malinois, he took a bunch of rubber bands, strung them together as tight as possible and then released it." It sure seemed to fit pretty good with Juniper even as good as she was at her job.
So many people were keeping secrets, including Maya's grandfather. Even chick magnet, Josh Colton who had been promoted to chief deputy sheriff. Maya wasn't sure she could trust him but he did seem to be easy to talk to.
Just as the secrets seemed to escalate so did the dangers. Dangers coming from multiple directions. All of it keeping me on the edge of my seat.
I liked how the story ended with most everything taken care of. However, the door was left wide open to follow a family murder mystery. What really happened to Maya's mother and possibly her grandmother. You can choose to end the story right here and I think be happy or keep going. I think I'd like to follow through and see where the next story goes.
