When he and his dog, Hellion, travel home to Texas for Christmas, they’re looking forward to two weeks of well-earned and uninterrupted rest. 
They didn’t count on arriving home to the news headline of, Missing Child. All volunteers needed ASAP. However, he understands how important it is to find a missing person during the first twenty-four hours, so he and Hellion report to duty instead of vacation.
Coco Winslet has always loved animals and always dreamed of helping others, so it’s no surprise to anyone when the young veterinarian starts her own volunteer K9 search and rescue team after hours. They’ve been training for months to prepare for their first real mission. When Davy Henderson goes missing on the last day of school before winter break, she can’t refuse the call for volunteers—even though she’s supposed to be on a plane home to California.
 Though Luke is impressed by the commitment of Coco’s volunteers during the holidays, he worries about their lack of experience in the first crisis they encounter together. Meanwhile, Coco is so busy trying to prove her team is up to the task, that she takes an unnecessary risk…or two.Luke finds himself juggling two teams who’ve never worked together, mounting dangers, and a growing attraction to a very determined young woman as they race to solve this latest amber alert before it’s too late.LAWKEEPERS TITLES BY JOLawfully LoyalLawfully OursLawfully WitnessedLawfully BraveLawfully CourageousBORN IN HOMETOWN HEROES A-ZThe whole alphabet is coming!A – Accidental HeroB – Best Friend HeroC – Celebrity HeroD – Damaged HeroE – Enemies to HeroF – Forbidden HeroG – Guardian HeroDISASTER CITY SEARCH AND RESCUE SERIESMore sweet hero romances by Jo!The Rebound RescueThe Plus One RescueThe Blind Date RescueThe Fake Bride RescueThe Secret Baby RescueThe Bridesmaid RescueThe Girl Next Door RescueThe Secret Crush RescueThe Bachelorette RescueThe Maid by Mistake RescueThe Unlucky Bride Rescue

To escape the bitter division of loyalties in her family during the war, Anna Kate Monroe accepts an invitation to serve as a companion to her spinster aunt in Cedar Falls, Texas. She meets a handsome fellow traveler, whose charming company makes the long train ride west an adventure she doesn't want to end. Even more surprising is the discovery that they are heading to the same small town. Captain Gregory Armstrong has been sent undercover from the north to investigate the claim that several prominent southern families are financing a major supply route to enemy troops. When his investigation leads him straight to Anna Kate’s doorstep, he has no choice but to follow her and his suspicions all the way to Cedar Falls. To explain his presence, he pretends to be a potential new investor in a profitable western railroad spur. As the evidence mounts against his lovely target and her family, he grapples with an unexpected attraction to her that will test his mettle as both a spy and a gentleman of honor. This book was previously part of the Lawkeepers Series and has since been rewritten and re-edited to launch the BRIDES OF CEDAR FALLS—uplifting historical romance stories full of faith, hope, love, and cowboys!

Deputy Sergio Desoto made a deathbed promise to his brother to always look after his wife, Salome—or Sal, as the whole Desert Springs police department affectionately calls her. Everybody loves Sal, including Sergio who has secretly been in love with her for years, though his honor and integrity have never allowed him to pursue her. He despairs of ever being able to keep the lovely nurse safe from a vengeful drug cartel that will stop at nothing in their quest to turn him into a dirty cop on their payroll. So he comes up with a plan to send Sal and his six-year-old son into hiding until he can resolve the escalating threats to their lives once and for all. But Sal has other ideas. She's proud to be a Desoto, and she doesn't believe running is the answer. If she refuses to go into hiding, however, Sergio will have to deal with something far more daunting than the crosshairs of a hitman. He’ll finally have to face his feelings for her!
