Jenna Brandt is our guest today.
She wrote a book called Lawfully Adored and she’s here to share the story behind her story.
Aiden O’Connell is a decorated search and rescue K-9 officer in Clear Mountain, Colorado. His partner is a fierce and loyal German shepherd named Cooper and together they find missing hikers, lost children, and natural disaster victims. Even though his career is on track, he is still missing one piece in his life-a woman with whom he can share his success.
Lindsay Wright has a calling to help displaced children find loving homes. As a social worker, she sees all sorts of situations that break her heart. She is so busy helping the children she is responsible for, she doesn’t have time to date. But when chance encounters bring these two sacrificial people together, can they both make room for love? And when one of Lindsay’s favorite kids goes missing, will Aiden be able to find him in time?

What inspired you to write this book?
My husband, Dustin, is a retired police officer of 18 years from Las Vegas. I was also a cop’s wife for 12 years, giving me a unique perspective into the world of law enforcement. Every day, my husband would come home from work with new stories of what happened on the job. Several of those stories are in my new book, Lawfully Adored.
The police department is like a family, and being married to a cop meant I was married to the department. His fellow officers become family to me and we shared birthdays, weddings, births, losses, and many other experiences with each other. I wanted to share this unique and special world with readers and so, I came up with the idea for The Lawkeepers series. I developed it with my co-creator, Lorana Hoopes, and then we invited five other authors to join us in creating stories about law enforcement from today and yesterday.
Currently, we have eight books out, with seven more already planned and new mini-series within the main series planned. I love this world we created and the stories and characters which are coming from it. Hope you love it too!
Sounds like an amazing series! Thanks for sharing this behind-the-scenes scoop about your book!

Though I don’t own a dog, I love books with dogs as one of the main characters, especially on a K-9 unit.
Jenna Brandt is a new-to-me author and winning her book would be a good way to be introduced to her writing. Also, I love books that include animals! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Knowing the author really understands what it’s like to be part of the “family” of law enforcement, makes the book sound like it is more credible.
Jenna is an amazing author!! I can’t wait to read this book!
I enjoy reading about k-9 rescue dogs and their handlers; and, I enjoy “unplanned” romances! 🙂
