Rescue dogs brought them together...

And a rescue dog might save his life

When vet tech and aspiring novelist Janna Welles recognizes Nolan Hoffsler, she needs to know why a bestselling crime writer is hiding out at Chance Animal Shelter.

Until he reveals that the latest threat against his life pits his survival against the lives of people he loves. It's up to Janna---and her Australian shepherd mix, Wizzy---to stop Nolan from sacrificing himself to protect others.
