A canine unit officer learns love and heartbreak are all in the line of duty.

Betrayed by her lover and left for dead, Senior Constable Ellie Marsden and her canine patrol dog move to Trinket Bay. Time heals Ellie's wounds, but not her heart.

When thieves break in and steal drugs from the local doctor's surgery, she realises it's like her last case back in the city. If her ex-lover is in her town; can she arrest the man who almost destroyed her?

Brennan Cole has been on the run for almost three years, leaving behind everything he's ever known and everyone he's ever loved. He's never forgiven himself for betraying Ellie, but he's in too deep to stop now.

Trinket Bay is a perfect target. The police force isn't as prominent here and its tourists provide a ready market. But then he glimpses the woman he still loves. Can he escape detection?

Or will they learn cases of the heart never grow cold?

A Nose for Trouble, the first book in the Trinket Bay K9 Mystery Series, is a contemporary romantic suspense novella set in the fictional town of Trinket Bay in South Western Australia. While each book is a standalone, they're best read in series order.

Now including bonus short story - Passionberry Dreams

One thief. One tangled collision. One chance to rewrite the past.

When a thief disrupts Trinket Bay's hospital fundraiser, pâtissier Nerida Graham finds herself face-to-face with the one man she's spent years trying to forget -- Constable Koen Henderson, dressed for a fashion show but ready for duty.

As the investigation unfolds, old tensions resurface, and new sparks fly. But with community stakes high and emotions running deeper than either expected, they must decide whether this moment is just a collision -- or the beginning of something more.
