Besides, the lanky redhead is not his type. Simon never wanted a puppy, and he most definitely doesn't want a woman. A newcomer to Orcas, he's a rugged and intensely private artist, known for creating exquisite furniture. To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can't handle. Jaws has eaten through Simon's house, and he's at his wit's end. He's the reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, foisted upon him by his mother. Yet all that changes on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her drive, desperate for her help. On Orcas Island, Fiona has found the peace and solitude she needed to rebuild her life. As authorities were closing in on the Red Scarf Killer, he shot and killed Fiona's cop fiancé and his K-9 partner. Several years ago, she was the only survivor of a serial killer - a madman who stalked and abducted young women, strangled them, and left them buried with a red scarf on their bodies. But Fiona got to this point by surviving a nightmare. Not to mention her three intensely loyal Labs. To most people, Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life: a quaint house on an island off Seattle's coast, a thriving dog-training school, and a challenging volunteer job performing canine search and rescue.
