A man has been missing in the mountains for eleven days. The county is going home. The tracker is not.
The search has been called off. The only ones still going up into Anselm Basin are a tracker named Malachi Reyes and his Labrador, Junie, who works the mountain in long diagonals and steals everything that isn't nailed down.
Rachel Ostrowski drove eight hours from Denver because two paragraphs about a missing man wouldn't leave her alone. She's sixteen years a reporter, bad at altitude and too proud to ask anybody for anything. She's also the woman whose story shut down Malachi's last outfit and put his name in print. She was right.
Malachi hasn't called a piece of ground "clear" since. He'll give her the wind, the time and where the dog searched, and stop. She's a reporter; she listens, and asks the second question. Every day she climbs beside him she wants him more, and he's the last man she has any right to want. He isn't doing any better.
Now a storm is coming for the San Juans. When it lands, the basin closes until June. A family has run out of money, the county has run out of reasons, and one slope nobody has stood on is about to disappear under a foot of snow.
Five days. One dog. And a man up there who might still be alive.
Ground Truth is a clean, closed-door K-9 romantic suspense: a slow-burn romance between two people with every reason to keep their distance, a race against a mountain storm, and a dog you'll fall in love with. Silver Tip K-9, Book Two. Reads on its own. A complete story with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
