T
K9 by Shannon MacLeod
Travis dreamed of partnering with a police dog—but fate handed him a faery and something unexpected instead...
“An utterly original blend of urban fantasy, time travel, and heart!”
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.
