Primal Force: A K-9 Rescue Novel

D.D. Ayres. St. Martin’s, $7.99 mass market (336p) ISBN 978-1-250-04219-4

Lauray “Law” Battise has had one burning question since his K-9 dog, Scud, died in an attack in Afghanistan: how did Scud really die? Was he killed in the attack that left Law with career-ending injuries and PTSD? Or did his squad have something to do with Scud’s death? In this exciting continuation of Ayer’s (Force of Attraction) K-9 Rescue series, Law has been badgered into taking a PTSD dog, a goldendoodle named Samantha, and a week’s worth of training with Warriors Wolf Pack in Arkansas. While Law isn’t thrilled that he’s paired with a “Cheese Doodle” like Sam, Sam’s trainer, Jori Garrison, is electrifying him in ways he hasn’t felt since he was injured. After being imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit and subsequently ostracized, Jori has a new lease on life in training service dogs, but Law becomes a lifesaver of a whole different kind. Ayres offers up another sizzling, heartwarming story of redemption and adventure. Agent: Denise Marcil, Denise Marcil Literary Agency. (Sept.)
