About this book

When a mysterious Belgian Malinois keeps appearing at the scenes of explosions rocking their small Texas town, Air Force veteran Lane Bishop and his estranged love Nora Hernandez are drawn into a thrilling mystery—and back into each other's orbit. Lane has been keeping his PTSD struggles hidden, convinced he's too damaged for Nora, but as they work together to uncover who's behind the attacks threatening Brenham's beloved landmarks, he realizes the stray pup might be the key to both solving the crime and opening his heart. With danger closing in and sparks rekindling between them, Lane must find the courage to let Nora in before it's too late. This cozy small-town mystery perfectly balances suspense, second chances, and the healing power of both love and loyal dogs.
