Book cover: Kieran's Light by Sadira Stone. Text: Happy book birthday, Kieran and Addy! And Snoot too!

Do romance book covers with dogs sell better?

Guess we’ll find out, because this latest Trappers Cove Romance features the bestest boy ever!

Snoot is a Chocolate Lab and a retired military explosives detection K-9, AKA bomb-sniffer dog. He’s seen some terrible things during his service in Afghanistan, and so has his adoptive mama, Army surgeon Addison Connor.

Just for fun, let’s ask Snoot a few questions.

Good boy, Snoot! Oof, that’s enough kisses. Down, please.

Sorry, I just love meeting new people. Makes me all wiggly. Is that a treat I smell in your pocket?

Here you go. So tell us, what do you think of Trappers Cove?

I love it here! So many interesting smells, lots of room to run on the beach, seagulls to chase, and nice people who give head scratches. Between you and me, Addy seems more relaxed here. Before this trip, she was always distracted. I mean, she’d throw a ball for me after work and hide scent targets behind her condo, but her heart just wasn’t in it. Now, she’s laughing again. I’ve missed her laugh.

And what’s your opinion of her new friend Kieran?

The lighthouse guy? He smells great! Cooking smells and beachy smells and strong tea. I like his deep voice too, and he gives the best belly rubs. He’s kind of sad, though, just like my Addy. Last night, while they were sleeping, he started twitching and growling like he was having a bad dream. I had to lick his face for a long time before he settled down. Addy has bad dreams too.

Do you have bad dreams about…you know?

About the time before Addy? Yeah, I do–loud bangs and screams and the scent of blood. Running on the beach helps. So does cuddling Addy at night–and let me tell you, cuddling between Addy and Kieran is the best! I hope we can stay here. We make a good family.

Will Snoot get his wish? Find out in Trappers Cove 6, Kieran’s Light. As with all Trappers Cove books, this one’s a standalone, meaning you don’t need to have read the previous books to enjoy Addy and Kieran’s story.

Wuff!

Sorry–it’s Snoot’s story too, of course.

Book Cover Kieran's Light by Sadira Stone

A ghostly encounter transforms a Halloween fling into a life-changing about-face.

Together, they confront haunting memories and a legendary ghost. Can these two wounded birds learn to fly again, or is their fiery fling doomed to crash?

Come to Trappers Cove for a midlife romance with passion, mystery, second chances, and an adorable retired military K-9 named Snoot!
