One of the fun things about writing KILLER IN THE KENNEL was creating a hero that was not your typical romantic suspense hero. Jose “Pepe” Gonzalez isn’t former military or law enforcement. He’s a real estate agent. He’s also trying to build his business and run his life away from the powerful South Beach Security agency. But family is family and when his cousin Trey Gonzalez, the new head of SBS, calls for help to find a new location for a K-9 training center, Jose doesn’t hesitate to help. When it draws Jose into a race to find a serial killer before he strikes again, Jose doesn’t hesitate. Especially when that means being around newly hired K-9 trainer Sara Hernandez. I hope you’ll enjoy reading KILLER IN THE KENNEL as much I enjoyed writing it. Today I’m leaving you with this little teaser of a first encounter between Jose and Sara. Grab your copies at:

“I wouldn’t. People don’t understand how hard that is,” she said, and leaned into that caress, drawing comfort from it and something else. That something else that she’d been feeling about him since the moment she’d laid eyes on him.
“I do. I understand,” he said as she reached up, cradled his jaw, and ran her thumb across his lips, the gesture as intimate as any kiss.
He smiled and leaned close. Ran his thumb across her lips as his gaze traveled over her face. “You feel it too,” he said.
At her nod, he shifted closer, so close his warm breath spilled across her lips, but just then the whoosh of elevator doors had them jerking apart guiltily.
