She's definitely his person of interest—but is he barking up the wrong tree?
When aspiring writer and dog trainer Evie Malone gets a call from a man seeking help with the dog he inherited, she's eager to help—in no small way because his surly voice on the phone gives her good shivers.
Meeting Luke Kovacs confirms her attraction to the no-nonsense, socially challenged cop, but she's got some unfinished business to take care of first. Business named Brad, an ex-to-be she's been trying to let down gently.
Luke's not really a dog person, but he's willing to make an effort to settle in with his late aunt's mutt. Especially with the help of a woman who makes him wish he had someone waiting for him at home.
When Evie goes to Brad's place to break up, she's shocked to find him dead on the floor. Worse, every time she turns around, she finds more and more evidence...and it's clearly stacked against her. Though Luke believes her innocent, they soon find themselves in a race against time to prove it—before the real killer finds a way to silence her.
