Two years after his brother’s murder in jail, Department of Homeland Security K-9 Officer Kade Sampson is still haunted by guilt. No man should ever have to arrest his own brother, even if he is laundering money for a drug cartel. Fortunately, Laia Velez—his brother’s gorgeous widow—never learned the truth about Kade’s involvement. But when she asks him for help, he knows that trouble with the cartel is far from over…
Kade is the last person Laia wants to call. But between her house being thoroughly trashed and the uneasy sense that she and her young daughter are being watched, Laia isn’t taking any chances. The cartel wants something from her. And Kade and his K-9 partner, Smoke, are her only chance to survive whatever fresh hell is coming their way…
Now Laia and Kade are trying to stay one step ahead in a game that’s growing more deadly by the minute. But what the cartel wants, the cartel gets. And Kade is running out of time to save the woman he loves from the same fate that killed his brother…

Summary
Honor N Duty by Tee O’fallon is a well written romantic suspense filled with hunky heroes and K9s.
The opening elevator scene was my favorite scene. The author builds us up to the instant chemistry and connection between Kade and Laia. And as the elevator doors open we crash and burn.
The story picks up six years later. Kade’s brother has died in prison and Laia has a child, his brother’s child. Kade has been a great uncle and an absent brother in law.
Laia has asked for his help as the organized crime family want something they think Laia has.
The best part of that story line was Kade’s friends coming in with their K-9s and helping out. I need to know if Jamie and Jax are okay. Please let them be the next story. 🙂 Also the book cover was gorgeous. Even if I wasn’t already a Tee O’fallon fan I would have wanted to read the book because of the cover. Tee writes police procedural like a professional, because she is one.
This is a well written story. Personally I just could not like Laia. I felt like she was always complaining and just not a character I could root for.
