Fiona Bristow seems to have the perfect life to most people: a successful dog-training school, a beautiful home on an island off the coast of Seattle, and a demanding volunteer position doing canine search and rescue. Not to mention her three devoted Labrador retrievers. But Fiona overcame a nightmare to get to this point.
She was the only survivor of a serial murderer a few years ago; this lunatic pursued and kidnapped young ladies, strangled them, and then buried them with a red scarf around their necks. The Red Scarf Killer shot and murdered Fiona's police fiancé and his K-9 companion as the authorities were closing in on him.
Fiona has discovered the tranquility and seclusion she needed to start over on Orcas Island. However, everything changes the day Simon Doyle, in a desperate attempt to get her assistance, charges her car. His mother forced him to adopt an unruly dog, which he now reluctantly owns. Simon is at his wits' end since Jaws has devoured his home.
Jaws is nothing Fiona cannot handle. Simon is a different story. He is a rough and fiercely private artist who just moved to Orcas and is well-known for his stunning furniture creations. Simon has no desire for women and has never desired a pet. Besides, he's not into the gaunt redhead. Tell the laws of attraction, nevertheless, that.
The past reappears in Fiona's life as she starts to train Jaws and as Simon learns to value both dog and trainer. A master has turned his bloodlust into a copycat murderer who has emerged from the shadows with the sole goal of getting back the lady who escaped his control.
