Two audio novellas in the Dakota K-9 Unit series: 

Deadly Christmas Trap

by Lynette Eason

narrated by Cindy Kay

An attempt to kidnap tech analyst Cheyenne Chen begins the excitement in Deadly Christmas Trap. Her previous training as a police officer may be what keeps Cheyenne alive when a bounty is put on her head. With the help of Officer Jack Donadio and his K-9 partner Beau, Cheyenne tries to figure out who is behind the hit. What has she done that would cause someone to pay to have her killed? This is a story with a lot of tension but also includes a developing romance between Cheyenne and Jack. 

Dangerous Holiday Manhunt

by Lenora Worth

narrated by Callie Beaulieu

Standing on its own is another good K-9 story. In Dangerous Holiday Manhunt, US Marshal Lorelai Danvers has recently transferred from Savanna, Georgia, to North Dakota. She and her Australian Shepherd Bixby experience a terrific snowstorm as they follow a deadly fugitive who returns to Drake’s ranch. What is his motive—does he seek revenge or something else? The fugitive shows that nothing is too horrific for him as he treks through blizzards and wreaks havoc along the way. If you like action, you will certainly find it in this story along with a little romance and some spiritual inspiration.
