Courageous Cain

Josie Shepherd loves running free, with no one and nothing to tie her down-until a new job at a kennel introduces her to both an unexpected friend and a vicious, abused dog named Cain.

When Josie stumbles upon the body of a murdered woman, she runs to Deputy Gordon Wolfe, a disfigured man hiding behind his badge. His shy smile and affection for dogs make her reconsider what she's running from.

Now she's on the run from a serial killer and her own heart. But when her friend is abducted and Cain appears to be the murder weapon, Josie's attempt to save them both lands her in the killer's lair. Josie's strength and Cain's loyalty are tested to the limit as they fight for their lives. Facing a killer is one thing, but facing her love for Gordon is Josie's greatest challenge.
