Book Description from Goodreads:
On her way to question US Marshal Emmett Gage about a DNA match that implicates his relative in a cold case and a recent murder, Officer Belle Montera’s attacked. Now she and her K-9 partner must team up with Emmett to find his cousin and the person after Belle. But can they figure out who’s targeting her without becoming murder victims themselves?


My Review:
Deadly Connection is a romantic suspense novel. It's the third book in a series, but each novel can be read as a stand alone. K-9 police officer Belle is attacked by someone claiming she ruined his life. Since she saw his face, it didn't take long for them to determine who the attacker was, but it was more difficult to track him down to arrest him. US Marshal Emmett saved her life in the initial attack, but Belle was able to hold her own in other attacks with the help of her dog partner. Because she's investigating Emmett's cousin, they worked together and both were endangered by the repeated attacks.

The suspense stayed high as attacks kept coming one after another. The characters reacted realistically to events and were likable. Belle and Emmett quickly came to admire the others character as well as their looks. Both were competent at their jobs. Emmett sometimes had trouble (in his mind) with letting Belle do her job even though he knew she was trained for it, partly because he cared for her. Since Belle recently got out of a controlling, manipulative relationship, she would only accept a relationship with someone who supported her and built her up. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting suspense.
