Summary
A former marine learns to love again in the first three books of this suspenseful, action-packed K-9 search and rescue series from Kathleen Donnelly. Chasing Justice 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 US Forest Service law enforcement job, fate brings K-9 Juniper into her life just as tragedy unfolds. The local deputy sheriff, Josh Colten, insists on helping with her new case. He&’s handsome and mysterious, but Maya can&’t let herself like him, let alone trust him. Then her grandfather goes missing amid a growing drug war. Now, Maya must put her faith in Josh, Juniper, and her own battered instincts to find her grandfather and untangle the web of secrets someone would kill to keep hidden. Hunting the Truth Returning to the Colorado mountains, Maya is no longer a scared little girl. She&’s here to investigate her mother&’s cold case, but fear creeps in when it comes to her personal life—things are getting serious with sheriff deputy Josh Colten. After new DNA evidence surfaces, Josh warns her away from the case, suspecting that she could be the next victim. But Maya doesn&’t listen. Instead, Maya and Juniper track a suspect deep into the forest and directly into grave danger… Killer Secrets. Antler Valley, Colorado, was a quiet town—until an avalanche ripped down a mountainside, exposing a serial killer&’s dumping grounds. Now Maya and Juniper must catch the murderer before they become the next targets. If an overconfident sheriff deterring the investigation and a murderer on the loose wasn&’t enough, Maya also can&’t get deputy Josh Colton off her mind. Josh is ready to go all in, but Maya has one foot out the door. Maya and Juniper run toward answers, though finding it might lead them directly into a fatal trap.
