Primal Force

by D. D. Ayres

Overview

Passion is always worth fighting for...

Jori Garrison trains dogs for Warrior Wolf Pack, which provides service animals for disabled veterans. Four years ago, she was wrongly convicted of a crime--thanks to her no-good ex- fiancé. Now she just wants to live her life in peace with her beloved dogs. No men, no complications. But it's hard to play it cool when a lethally hot male is on her tail--and the attraction is fierce, mutual, and dangerous....

PRIMAL FORCE

Lauray "Law" Batisse is a Military Police veteran who was wounded in Afghanistan. Haunted by the loss of his K-9 partner in combat, he's reluctant to accept a service dog named Samantha into his life. But once he meets her trainer--the gorgeous Jori Garrison--he can't fight his primal instincts. And neither can Jori. This sexy alpha male might be the only man strong enough to unleash her desires. And when unseen enemies start hunting them down, he and his new K-9 partner might be her only hope...to survive.

Editorial Reviews

07/27/2015
Lauray “Law” Battise has had one burning question since his K-9 dog, Scud, died in an attack in Afghanistan: how did Scud really die? Was he killed in the attack that left Law with career-ending injuries and PTSD? Or did his squad have something to do with Scud’s death? In this exciting continuation of Ayer’s (Force of Attraction) K-9 Rescue series, Law has been badgered into taking a PTSD dog, a goldendoodle named Samantha, and a week’s worth of training with Warriors Wolf Pack in Arkansas. While Law isn’t thrilled that he’s paired with a “Cheese Doodle” like Sam, Sam’s trainer, Jori Garrison, is electrifying him in ways he hasn’t felt since he was injured. After being imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit and subsequently ostracized, Jori has a new lease on life in training service dogs, but Law becomes a lifesaver of a whole different kind. Ayres offers up another sizzling, heartwarming story of redemption and adventure. Agent: Denise Marcil, Denise Marcil Literary Agency. (Sept.)
