Description

Alex "Sniff" Mullins is a loyal, trusted member of the REAPER-Patriot team. Rescued by the team from a perverse government experiment in New Mexico years ago, he's found his home and loves it. His trusted K9 Daisy is by his side every moment of the day, and sometimes at night. But Sniff has a secret. He's been in love with Lucy Robicheaux for as long as he can remember. At first, she was just an annoying kid following him around because she liked dogs. Then, she was a beautiful teenager who watched him from a distance. Now, Lucy was a successful veterinarian who deserved someone better than Sniff; or so he thought.

Lucy Robicheaux has been in love with Alex Mullins for almost half her life. She knew he was older and that he wouldn't touch her until she was of age. But her 'of age' has come and gone. Bold and brave, she lets him know how she feels one evening in a lake. Although they've acted as just friends, when Sniff saves her life, she can't imagine it without him. She just has to convince him of that.
