Case McMillan isn’t an officer anymore, but instinct sends him running when he sees a woman being held at gunpoint. Skittish and secretive, Terri is hard to trust—until a wily dog named Cutter helps Case see the true self she’s been hiding. As the sole witness to a murder, she needs more protection than he alone can provide, but he’s not leaving her side until he knows that she’s safe.
Justine Davis lives on Puget Sound in Washington State, watching big ships and the occasional submarine go by, and sharing the neighborhood with assorted wildlife, including a pair of bald eagles, deer, a bear or two, and a tailless raccoon. In the few hours when she's not planning, plotting, or writing her next book, her favorite things are photography, knitting her way through a huge yarn stash, and driving her restored 1967 Corvette roadster—top down, of course.
