Melissa's confidence was battered, even though she was still recovering from leaving an abusive ex. Some wounds just did not heal. Erik Flynn was a bestselling author. Not him, actually, his pen name, Pat Harrington was. After churning out dozens of mysteries that won acclaim, Erik stared at blank pages every day. To escape his frustration (and his publisher), he moved to a small town he randomly found on the map. He was belligerent, frustrated, and a recluse.

When Erik overhears some police officers giving Melissa trouble, all he wants to do is protect her. When a shaky friendship ensues, Erik finds peace he has not known before.

Erik may have considered their relationship as being friends, but for Melissa, his support means so much more. She starts to fall for the man with a rough exterior, only to find a gentle and considerate man behind the mask. But when her past collides with her present, it takes all her strength to hold on. When possibly the biggest case of her career lands in her lap, she needs to find a strength she does not have to lead Jimmy. Can Melissa finally find her peace among her challenges?

Erik was an author who had mind block and was trying to write a new book. He was out walking on the day Melissa was trying to bust a druggie. When she told him to leave the area becauze it was dangerous he decided he wanted to meet the courageous lady cop. Melissa was scared to be friends with him. Her x boyfriend had really been abusive to her and she didn't know if she wanted a man friend. But she soon decided it wouldn't hurt to have a friend. Her and Erik hit it off and were soon together a lot. One night when she was working a kidnapping case Erik picked her up to take her home he had made soup and forgot it at his house. He left her at her house to get comfortable while he retrieved the soup. Her x Robbie showed up before she could get inside. M3lissa found her courage to do what she needed to do when Robbie began hurting Erik. She had Jimmy her k9 guard Robbie to protect her and Erik. She handcuffed him and called headquarters to pick him up. She realized she loved Erik. They soon solved the case of the kidnapping. Erik and Melissa realized they were good together and didnt want to be apart anymore. I highly recommend this book!

Needs work It has promise, but the execution is lacking. I'm not sure if an early draft was accidentally published, but there are an incredible amount of spelling, grammar, and formatting errors. The flow was so constantly interrupted that I only made it just over halfway through the book. With editing/proofing, I would probably easily rate it 4 stars. If it were cleaned up, I would finish it. If errors drive you batty, I'd hold off for now. If you dont mind, or notice, flow interruptions you mig Needs work It has promise, but the execution is lacking.

I love these K-9 stories. This is my first book by Natalie Middleton and I really enjoyed it. We never really think about the fears that law enforcement keep hidden and continue to do their job. Abuse is so well hidden and insidious, I loved the way it was handled in this story.
