Ambushed and left for dead, U.S. Secret Service K-9 Officer Markus York is on the mend and laying low in a safe house while his team tracks down his attacker. But Markus isn’t good at sitting still. Even with his K-9, Ghost, for company, he gets restless and decides now is the perfect time to do some repairs around the house…and inadvertently tears open his wounds.
Fresh out of a bad relationship that ended after a car accident left her with limited mobility, freelance accountant Cassidy Morgan has sworn off men. At least, that’s the plan. Until a frantically barking dog leads her to a neighbor’s house where she finds a mysterious man out cold and bleeding on the floor…and mumbling things like “no, they’ll find me” when she tries to call an ambulance.
Yeah, that’s not at all concerning.
Despite Markus’s surly attitude, Cassidy senses there’s something else at work beneath his rugged, keep-your-distance exterior. Whatever it is, it’s sexy as hell.
With someone still trying to kill him, Markus doesn’t want an innocent to get hurt, let alone take care of him.
If only his dog wasn’t crazy in love with her.
If only the chemistry between Markus and Cassidy didn’t explode whenever they were in the same room.
If only Cassidy wasn’t a target now, too.

Summary
Serve N Protect by Tee O’Fallon was action packed with well developed characters.
Cassidy has had a tough year. A life threatening accident that has left her walking with a cane and her fiancé leaving her because of it. She is trying to build back her accounting career.
Her next door neighbor is letting a friend stay at his house. Markus York is a Secret Service K-9 Officer. Ghost is his K9 and absolutely stole the show in this book. I am recommending the book to some of my non-reading dog lover friends because of Ghost alone.
Markus is healing from being stabbed. They believe the killer is still out to get him.
The book is a great balance of their developing relationship and the action of finding out who is after both of them and why.
I met the author several years ago and she never disappoints. Serve N Protect is not exception. I was hooked from the first scene. And kudos to the book cover artist; they nailed Markus and Ghost!
Sexual content – a few physical scenes closer to the end of the book
Violence – someone has tried to kill Markus, killed another agent, broken into the house, shot at, nothing that disturbed me.
Profanity – the f word is used 22 times, some other milder profanity
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
