Break Up
After taking a job in Alaska to find her birth family, a twenty-something veterinarian is determined to find a murderer in order to exonerate a service dog who is accused of killing a man, even if she has to risk her life to do it.
After three months in unfamiliar and inhospitable Alaska, the only living relative ABBEY KITTLE has been able to dig up is a ten-year-old boy who she found through a DNA match. She has also learned that her adoptive parents lied to her and her mother did not die giving birth to her.
Although Abbey has learned the hard way that there are too many ways to die in Alaska for her to want to stay permanently, she will not leave the state until she finds her mother.

Abbey has nine months left on her contract with MICK MCGREEVY, her boss/bush pilot, who has a drinking problem. With the help of her on-again, off-again, musher boyfriend, she is learning to be a pilot to overcome her deathly fear of flying, and in case Mick passes out in the cockpit, again.
During the course of her work at Mick’s veterinary clinic, she treats a dog who is accused of killing a man. But Abbey can tell she’s not a killer and as it turns out the dog is a service animal for a seven-year-old girl with autism. A fierce champion of all animals, Abbey will do whatever it takes to save this innocent dog from being euthanized, even when it puts her in mortal danger. Apparently Abbey didn’t learn her lesson the last time she went looking for a murderer, when she barely escaped the killer’s grasp and Alaska’s, too.
