Elizabeth Heiter’s K-9s on Patrol series features K-9 law enforcement teams. Decoy Training (2022) begins the series, and each entry follows a different officer and K-9 partner. The series includes Sniffing Out Danger, Foothills Field Search, Alpha Tracker, Police Dog Procedural, and Scent Detection, all published in 2022.
Each book pairs a new handler with a trained K-9 dog, and the cases range from missing persons to drug detection. The romance develops between the officers and other characters in their orbit, with the dog often playing matchmaker in its own way. Readers who like their suspense mixed with a strong love story will find plenty here.
All six entries were released as part of Harlequin’s continuity program, which means different authors sometimes contribute to a shared series. In this case Heiter wrote every installment herself. The books work best read in order, though each romance reaches its own conclusion by the final page.
