Originally brought out in 2017 on the 3rd of November, this would first be published by the author herself through Kathi Daley Books.

Feeling their pain and fear, she lives alone in a rustic cabin, helping with rescues, while volunteering at an animal shelter and working in the nearby bar Neverland. That’s when Tim Maverick sends his friend, the famous action movie star Harley Medford, a picture of a man saying if he’s to die the man in the photo murdered him. Just two weeks later Tim is killed and Harley takes the photo to Rescue Alaska and enlists Harmony’s help after hearing about her. Will they both be able to solve the mystery? Can they find the real killer in time? What will happen as they see themselves finding justice?

While training a search and rescue dog, both Harmony and Jake get a call about a four year old boy who has gone missing from the rented cabin of his family during their vacation. Then, during the search and rescue for the boy, they discover the body of popular member of the town, and the police are stumped as to why the would be killed. Continuing the search for the boy, they also look for the murderer, seeing whether or not the two are maybe connected. That’s when a secret is uncovered, leading to the startling truth, as they find the answers they have been seeking all along. Where did the boy disappear to? Can they discover the truth before it’s too late? What will they discover as they begin finding answers?
