On His Watch is the prequel in a debut romantic suspense Search and Rescue series from Katie Ruggle. In just 100 pages Katie has written a story packed with suspense, romance, and on-the-edge-of-your-seat goodness.  I love her fresh approach and unique setting along with some seriously charming and sexy characters.

As a reader who is draw to book covers, this one is well, judge for yourself ;). Between the cover and the story, my heart is pounding. A strong man standing in the cold, snowy mountains is ready to keep watch and steal your heart. Well done Sourcebooks, you had me at the cover!

Discover the Rocky Mountains from the men and woman who put their lives on the line daily, braving the harsh elements in order to keep people safe.

Sometimes even the local children become too comfortable around the ice and forget the hidden dangers. Our introduction begins with a school field trip, a childish dare and a frozen span of ice. When the warnings are not taken seriously, a tragic situation occurs and two children are reported missing. It’s time to put the team and town into action.

Secrets and unresolved issues set the stage for Derek Warner and Artemis Rey in this installment. We are also introduced to Derek Callum, Lou Sparks and many more amazing characters that are committed to protecting the residents of the Rocky Mountains. I can’t wait to read about their adventures!

While the Search and Rescue team races against the clock, a storm is fast approaching and the children are still missing. Will they find them before the storm halts the mission? Will lovers reunite and past transgressions be forgiven? Mother nature can be relentless and so can a stubborn heart, will they both soften up or leave a path of destruction?

A very cool fact, Sourcebooks is releasing each book in this series about every two months. Readers this is fabulous news if you can’t stand the wait until the next release! I can’t wait to get my hands on the next installment in this must read new series.

Author Info:

A fan of the old adage “write what you know”, Katie Ruggle lived in an off-grid, solar- and wind-powered house in the Rocky Mountains until her family lured her back to Minnesota. When she’s not writing, Katie rides horses, shoots guns (not while riding, although that would be awesome), cross-country skis (badly) and travels to warm places where she can scuba dive. A graduate of the Police Academy, Katie received her ice-rescue certification and can attest that the reservoirs in the Colorado mountains really are that cold. A fan of anything that makes her feel like a bad-ass, she has trained in Krav Maga, boxing and gymnastics.
