5 STARS!
Great characters! I really enjoyed meeting Cal & Scout and can’t wait for the future stories about their K-9 teammates!
Calen Palmer is new to the San Diego K-9 Search and Rescue team when the city is surprisingly hit by a strong earthquake. It’s Cal & his partner K-9 Scout’s job to get out there and search for trapped victims. They are searching a partially collapsed office building when Scout alerts on a pile of rubble. After some dangerous maneuvering, they rescue 5 year old Kayla from a hallway, where unfortunately her Mom died instantly.
Jessica Hansen is the trauma surgeon doing triage at the command center set up for the rescues. She sends Kayla to be admitted for observation, and Cal has a fairly severe leg injury that requires him to be in the hospital for several days as well. Cal and Jessica bond over his dog Scout because she ends up helping him out with him while he’s being transported in the ambulance, then again later when he can’t handle taking care of him the first couple of weeks out of the hospital. Even thought they are both a bit gun-shy because of personal things that have happened to them in recent years, they decide to date casually.
Past drama leaves them both leary of this relationship they are stepping into, and they hit several roadblocks along the way. Will they be able to overcome their issues and find happiness or will they go their separate ways?

She lived in four countries and spoke five languages before settling down in Canada again to attend university. After graduating with a degree in civil engineering, she held a variety of positions in the field of real estate development and operations, and ran three substantial organizations. While her writing during this period was mostly business related, including presentations and speeches she delivered both nationally and internationally, her passion is and always has been fiction.
Kate’s business and personal experiences enable her to write fiction with a deep, often first-hand knowledge of what she is writing about. This approach makes Kate’s stories richer and more vivid.
Kate’s goal is to entertain you with well-written, engaging stories, set in intriguing places and with strong, likeable characters. “I hope my stories bring you pleasure and entertain you. Nothing pleases me more than receiving feedback from people who have chosen to spend their valuable leisure time with one of my books,” notes Kate.
Kate married her husband, Ken, in an elegant, ocean-front wedding on a tropical island. When they are not traveling, they split their time between their properties in southern and central Ontario in Canada.
