Assignment: Single Mom Surveillance
The Military K-9 Unit series continues
Her serial killer brotherâs escapedâand itâs single mom Zoe Sullivan whoâs under suspicion! Sgt. Linc Colson trusts two things: his instincts and his Rottweiler K-9 partner, Starâand certainly not the pretty face heâs assigned to monitor. Heâs done everything to keep her from getting under his skinânow he must stop those who want to put her six feet under.
VALERIE HANSEN was thirty when she awoke to the presence of the Lord in her life and turned to Jesus. She now lives in a renovated farmhouse in the breathtakingly beautiful Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and is privileged to share her personal faith by telling the stories of her heart for Love Inspired. Life doesnât get much better than that!

Zoe gazed down at the dog. âSheâs beautiful.â
âAnd intelligent and trained to be lethal, if necessary,â Linc cautioned.
âI donât doubt that for a second.â Meeting Starâs upturned face with a tender look of her own, Zoe dangled the tips of her fingers over the edge of the box. The dog noticed but didnât seem upset, so she took a chance and wiggled them.
Star had apparently realized she wasnât a danger because she sniffed Zoeâs fingers, then gave them a quick lick.
âAre you trying to recruit her to the dark side?â
âNot at all. Actually, Iâm very impressed with Star. Sheâs a lot smarter than you security forces people are. Sheâs already decided Iâm one of the good guys around here.â
âThen itâs a good thing sheâs not the one in charge.â

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.
âPsalms 46:1â2
Dear Reader,
This is a story of redemption and forgiveness. Even when our past is troubled, there is always hope, always a way to go on. Personally, I donât know how anyone copes daily without a saving faith in Jesus Christ. He has brought me through many trials when I saw only dark clouds and imagined no rainbows, no possibilities of future happiness.
The struggles of Zoe and Linc were intensified because they both dwelled on an unhappy past rather than accepting the new chance for love that was awaiting them. We canât go back and fix mistakesâand would probably make things worse if we tried. Each challenge is a way to learn and grow, each new day a precious gift. We only need to accept Godâs love and forgiveness, trust Him and willingly place the rest of our lives in His care.
