Call of the Wild: Book 2
Publication Date: June 2, 2026
Two broken hearts. One deadly mission. And just one avalanche dog standing between them and a killer.
Harley Tatum made a vow to never return to Copper Mountain, Alaska, where a drug dealer destroyed her family and the man she loved walked away. But when that same criminal escapes and justice calls her name, she has no choice but to face everything she buried.
Jericho Bowie remembers things differently. She left him. And he’s spent years wondering why. Now Harley needs his search-and-rescue dog, Orlando, to track a fugitive through treacherous mountain terrain and Jericho refuses to let her go alone. Not again.
But as they push deep into the frozen wilderness, the hunter becomes the hunted. Old feelings resurface at the worst possible time, and survival depends on two people who don’t know if they can trust each other or their own hearts.
Susan May Warren packs action and heart-pounding suspense from the rugged wilderness of Alaska into a nonstop adventure where the greatest danger might be opening your heart again.
This gripping suspense is filled with pulse-pounding action, second-chance romance, and a heroic K9 rescue dog from Alaska, sure to thrill fans of Lynette Eason, Dani Pettrey, and Natalie Walters.
Tracking down a fugitive sends Harley Tatum back to her Alaskan hometown, but she has no plans to stay.
In the second installment of the Call of the Wild series, author Susan May Warren once again delivers a suspenseful tale full of action. Scent of Hope pairs Harley (aka Here’s Trouble) with Jericho Tate, the man who broke her heart.
The angst level is high as the duo is forced to work together to chase a criminal who escapes into the mountainous terrain. Jericho’s search and rescue dog plays a key role in tracking, but the elements aren’t in their favor.
The verbal sniping takes high marks as the two wrestle with old feelings. Hot on the trail where danger lurks from both their surroundings and the criminal, Harley and Jericho must decide whether they can trust each other and work together.
Scent of Hope delivers a clean romance highlighting well-developed characters.
