About this ebook

A K-9 handler determined to prove she belongs. A detective with an unwavering plan. Can they overcome their painful pasts and accept the gift of love?

Tina West has spent her life feeling like she stood on the outside, but since taking a job at Stryker Security, life seems to be turning for the better.

Tina never imagined when she took a job as a nanny she’d end up training for search and rescue. Yet, when her boss shows up with a retired military dog and the opportunity to train with him, Tina snatches up the chance to help those who are lost. If she saves enough people, maybe she could find meaning in a life that left her with nothing but a bruised heart and a tarnished picture of family. As holiday festivities loom before her, she wonders if she’ll ever shuck the regrets that haunt her dreams and keep her from connecting with others.

Milo Bishop’s every move has been to take care of his mom and younger brother.

Since his father’s murder, Milo has worked hard to make sure his mom and brother were provided for. He joined the police force straight out of high school, took night classes so he could move up to investigator, and put his life on hold until his brother graduated from college. But when he is rescued on Thanksgiving Day by Tina West, his well-laid plans take a sharp detour.

When a series of kidnappings threaten to ruin the holidays, can Tina and Milo put aside their doubts and find the abducted children before it’s too late?

Can Tina trust her instincts when they’re put to the test or will children being harmed hit too close to her past for her to deal with?

Will Milo put his desires above his family’s needs when a chance at love catches him by surprise?

If you like nail-biting adventure, fascinating characters, and engaging stories of triumph, you'll love Sara Blackard's riveting Christmas romantic suspense.

Ratings and reviews

This is book three in The Stryker Security Force Series and it is Tina and Milo's story. Tina had been through so much in her life including being in a foster home but now she is part of the Stryker Security family that help people but she has got trust issues along with a lot of baggage that keeps her from connecting to people and that makes her isolated even when she has people around her that cares. Milo is in the police force and also makes sure that his mum and brother are okay and he supports them, when he is out in the snow on his own he has a accident and he is rescued by Tina and her dog scout. Tina had a crush on Milo in school but when she rescues him she doesn't let on that she knows him. Milo and Tina have instant chemistry between them but will it be enough for them to get over what they have been through to get a chance of being together and having a happy ending. I absolutely loved the characters and storyline in this book and I couldn't put it down as it was so well written and addictive.

We first met Tina in the first book in this series she was employed as the nanny for Eva and was the one whose car was blown up in the driveway but she is far more than that Zeke is allowing her to train in search and rescue and has even supplied her with a retired MWD. Tina hates family celebrations after the suicide of her foster sister on one so when Thanksgiving comes around she uses training Scout as an excuse to head out into the wilds. While she is out she gets a call about a man missing and she actually finds him without that much trouble and she is stunned to discover that it is Milo a boy she crushed on at school Little did she know the feeling was mutual the only problem is that Milo is now a detective and he basically hasn't had a personal life since his father was killed constantly making sure his mother and brother where fine but who was looking out for him. There is a strong connection between these two but will they act on it m Meanwhile children are disappearing from the town and Tina foster brother is in town are these factors connected.
