About this ebook
Danger—and revenge—threaten the forest in the fifth book in Kathleen Donnelly’s thrilling search and rescue K-9 romantic suspense series.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire…
There’s nothing more terrifying than a trail of smoke over a summer-dry national forest—at least, that’s what Forest Service law enforcement officer Maya Thompson thinks when she and her boyfriend, sheriff’s deputy Josh Colten, spot the first signs of a fire over the Colorado mountains.
But when she learns that a teen girl has been kidnapped and taken deep into the wilderness, a new fear grips her: If she and her K-9 partner, Juniper, can’t reach them fast enough, the fire might not just destroy her beloved forest—it might be the end to an innocent girl’s life.
An innocent girl who is tied to Maya in ways she never could have imagined. And in ways that will upend everything she’s always believed about her family…and the dark past that haunts her.

Danger, dogs, and a race against time—Deadly Revenge delivers all three with plenty of heart-pounding suspense. Maya and her loyal K-9 partner, Juniper, make a compelling team as they navigate action, danger, and mystery while searching for a missing teenager with a forest fire closing in fast. With twists, turns, and a very helpful K-9 at its center, Deadly Revenge is both engaging and entertaining. Consider this one a tail-wagging good read.

Kept me glued to the pages, flipping one after the other. Fast moving, full of suspense and the great K9 Juniper. This is book 5 in the National Forest -9 Series, but you are not lost. The author was great about seamlessly weaving in the information you needed. This book had my heart racing with the suspense and rejoicing in the HEA. Highly recommend for those who enjoy suspense, law enforcement, K9 and the highs and lows of family relationships. I received and advanced copy.
