Stray Dogs & Sopapillas: the chili pepper chronicles, book 1

By Michele D. Huskins

Join Brandon and Helen for a lighthearted romance set in the American Southwest! Brandon has been a policeman in the small town of Chili Pepper, Colorado for just two days when someone tries to kill Helen. Brandon is ordered to take Helen out of town to keep her safe. Brandon is from New Mexico, so Helen and her Maine Coon cat Fluffernutter take him sightseeing in Colorado. A week spent in an RV launches an attraction between the two. Will canoeing on a high mountain lake end in a night of romance?
Helen's neighbor, Mary Jo, has her own agenda as she follows the young couple on their trip. Will her interference lead them into disaster or deeper into love?
Back in Chili Pepper, Brandon is sent undercover to catch a drug dealer. His work leads to a frightening desert rescue aided by a stray dog. Will their past experiences with the opposite sex drive them apart or pull them together when the going gets rough? Trust is in short supply for our hero as he deals with the damage of past relationships.
A trip to the animal shelter, a missing checkbook and mobsters from Chicago push and pull at their hearts.
Bank robbers strike in Chili Pepper! Their reign of terror culminates in a meal that will be hard to forget!
