Catch Her If You Can
by Merline Lovelace

Even a robot dog can sniff out trouble...

USAF Lieutenant Samantha Spade is in the heat of the west Texas desert testing a dog-like robot for military use, when the device leads her and her team to a pick-up truck. The driver comes at them with a gun—and is shot in self-defense by Sam’s friend. And then a gruesome discovery is made: three human heads in a cooler in the back of the truck.

Because the dead man was on the FBI’s most wanted list, Sam stands to get a hefty reward. Too bad the technology to keep her shady ex-husband from sniffing out cash has yet to be invented. His appearance, along with frightening issues from her boyfriend’s past, make it hard to tell just who is responsible for the pipe-wielding thug who attacks her. All Sam knows is that her luck has taken a doggone turn for the worse...

Merline Lovelace's Bio

I come from a military family. Dad served in the European Theater in WWII and retired from the Air Force in 1961. Mom was a real trooper—she'd pack up kids, dogs, cats, turtles and parakeets and make every move a grand adventure.

After attending Ripon College, WI; Middlebury College, VT; and Princeton University, NJ, I joined the Air Force and met this dashing young captain my second day at my very first duty station. We were married in Taiwan and honeymooned in Hong Kong.

A year later, Al got orders to Vietnam and I immediately volunteered to go. He served at DaNang, I was in Saigon—NOT an experience I'd want to repeat, although it did give me great fodder for my book, DUTY AND DISHONOR.

Many great assignments followed: Eglin AFB, FL; Maxwell AFB, AL; Kirtland AFB, NM; Randolph AFB, TX. Serving my country was a wonderful experience, one I'd recommend to any young man or woman who loves adventure and being part of something important.

Now I've hung up my uniform for good and gone blond (yep, they really do have more fun). Al and I spend most of our time traveling or chasing little white balls around the fairways of Oklahoma—when I'm not glued to my keyboard, racing to meet a deadline, that is. Life is good!!!!!
