K9 Mine by Shannon MacLeod

Travis dreamed of partnering with a police dog—but fate handed him a faery and something unexpected instead...
Corporal Travis McLean is a man on a mission and doesn’t have time to waste on trivialities like love or relationships lasting longer than a night or two. He has always been laser-focused on his dream of becoming a K9 officer like his parents — but that driving ambition takes a backseat when he catches a beautiful, runaway faery rummaging through his fridge…
In faraway sixth-century Ireland, the evil druid Ansgar has been enslaving the fae for a dark purpose, and the one that got away could be his ultimate downfall. Now, Ansgar will move through time itself to bring her back.
As Travis’s normal, orderly world (or as orderly as it gets considering a jealous ex-girlfriend, policing in a tourist resort party town, keeping his best friend out of trouble, and his desire to find his dream K9) spirals into chaos and love begins to blossom despite his best efforts, he is thrust into a centuries-old conflict with stakes higher than he ever imagined and forced to confront a reality that defies everything he knows.
Amid all the madness, he learns that the heart has a mind of its own, and to protect everything he loves, he’ll have to set history right—before it’s too late.
Reviews
“An utterly original blend of urban fantasy, time travel, and heart!”

A proud member of Romance Writers of America and PAN, her Celtic tales include her newest romantasy K9 Mine, the award-winning Embrace the Lace, Rogue on the Rollaway, The Celtic Knot: Suit of Cups (Arcana Love I), The Gypsy Ribbon: Suit of Wands (Arcana Love II), available from Kensington Books. Her tales are filled with strong heroes and heroines, interesting locales, colorful secondary characters, a touch of magick and mystery, loads of quirky humor, a body count, and absolutely no sparkly vampires.

When not writing, she lives a life of servitude to three spoiled cats and one entitled German Shepherd dog. She loves rainy days, good music, and long hours spent gazing at her beloved ocean. An avid wearer of boots regardless of season and dangerously high heels, she watches Lord of the Rings more than any sane person should and can, in fact, reenact entire battle scenes using interpretive dance. Her spirit animals are the Honey Badger and Gordon Ramsay.
