NOKKI

About the Book

Dogs are people, too! Just ask ‘em! Nokki, a determined mutt, is the best friend and confidante of Marty Payne, a top golfer on the LPGA Tour. Wherever she goes, he goes – and makes his presence known! His number one task in life is keeping her safe, relaxed, and putting steak in his kibble – no small task when your owner’s crisscrossing the country playing a different tournament every week! But Marty Payne’s life, already hectic, is about to turn upside-down. All it takes is one innocent autograph to catapult her into a world of kidnapping, revenge, intrigue and romance. Even Nokki’s devotion and drive can't protect Marty from an unwelcome blast from someone else’s past – but it doesn't stop him from trying!
