State of Emergency: Colorado Search and Rescue

#1 of Colorado Search & Rescue - Oh, these characters - LOL - they sure get into juicy trouble. Jordan Shane - he lives in Florida where he has his computer chip company. He comes to Aspen to ask his estranged wife for a divorce. She agrees. Then he wakes up to icy quiet in her mansion to find her dead. He hates the Colorado cold. Of course, the police don't look any closer than him for the killer and he is in chains waiting to be transported to a new venue. Ah but Deputy Frank Kreiger takes his chains off. Opportunity presents itself and Jordan takes off with only a small wound. Emily Foster - has moved from the ER in Denver to the small town of Cascadia. She wants the solitude and peace of the Colorado mountains where she works for Search and Rescue along with Dr. Spence Cannon. Her peace and quiet is invaded by a wounded man who decides to take her with him into the mountains. Oh yes, they take Pookie, a golden retriever, Emily's pup in training. Pookie has no trouble making up to Jordan. Lynette Afton-Shane - is a jet-setter and owner of two ski lodges and darnd rich. Who would want her dead? Brian Afton, her half brother inherits the bulk of her estates when she dies. Sean Madigan - A professional skier lives in Lynette's guest house as they were having a very torrid affair. Nasty temper! Deputy Ed Collins - he is tracking the trail that Emily leaves and tries to ambush them from Mammoth Rock only to be distracted by Emily's shout and Jordan escapes. Now Emily must take care of the deputy. Does he think he is a sniper? Ah, the hunt is on and it keeps getting better. Jordan shows some real ability in hot-wiring cars and keeping one step ahead of the law. But he has to involve Dr. Cannon along with Emily and finally gets their help. Great characters - great plot - excellent pace - intrigue, suspense, romance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --m -- a duo worth keeping -- #2 is WEDDING CAPTIVES, where we get Dr. Spence Cannon's story.
