      SAFEGUARDING THE BABY

      Overhearing the murder of her sister, Lacy Germaine grabs her baby nephew and flees for their lives. But not before she’s seen by the killer—who she’s certain is her lawman brother-in-law. Now an instant mom on the run, Lacy will protect the baby at all costs, and she trusts nobody. Not even her rescuer, K-9 cop Matt Callahan. Despite the police alert issued for the missing little boy, Matt believes that Lacy is innocent of kidnapping. Keeping them safe soon becomes his top priority. But no matter how deep they hide, danger finds them...until Matt is all that stands between the beautiful woman, the vulnerable baby and a desperate killer.

      Duchess abruptly leaped to her feet and ran over to the door. She began to growl low in her throat.

      Matt didn’t waste a second. He grabbed his weapon. “Stay in the bedroom and don’t open the door to anyone except for me or one of my brothers.”

      “Be careful,” Lacy whispered.

      Pressing himself against the wall, Matt carefully opened the door.

      Duchess was in full alert mode, her nose practically twitching with the need to track the intruder. He exhaled and then darted outside, Duchess hot on his heels. As they’d practiced earlier, he went left and Duchess went right. He heard Duchess moving through the brush.

      The dog let out a sharp bark, and he instinctively lunged toward the sound, his heart pounding with adrenaline. He moved from tree to tree. Suddenly a sharp crack echoed through the night, followed by a burning sensation along the outer edge of his left biceps.

      He’d been shot!

      Ignoring the pain, he continued his zigzagging path toward the area where Duchess had barked, alerting him to the presence of the gunman, as he silently prayed that he and Duchess could hold the guy off long enough for his brother Mike to arrive.

      And to keep Lacy and Rory safe.
