One of the fun things about writing the South Beach Security K-9 Division stories was learning about the four different kinds of dogs that will be the heroes of this new romantic suspense series. In SABOTAGE OPERATION which was just released in May, the hero Butter was a Belgian Malinois. In my upcoming June 25 release, ESCAPE THE EVERGLADES, the hero is Missy, a Labrador Retriever. Why a Labrador for this story about single dad and ex-marine Carlos Ruiz who is trying to protect his business and son after a series of attacks? Well, the story is set in the Everglades, a unique ecosystem of wetlands and forests that has been declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Labradors are great in wet areas due to their coats and webbed paws. They are also great for search and rescue which will be important in ESCAPE THE EVERGLADES when the hero’s son is kidnapped. Labrador Missy is also unique in that she suffers from PTSD much like veteran Natalie, the heroine in the story. For Natalie, a security assignment in the Everglades is an escape from Miami and the sights and sounds that can sometimes trigger an episode. But can Carlos, Natalie, and Missy save Carlos’s son when he’s kidnapped? Pre-order your copy today at https://amzn.to/3Xczcks.
