Hunted on the Trail: A Love Inspired K-9 Christian Inspirational Suspense Romance (Security Hounds Investigations Book 3)

Former cop Stephanie Wolfe enters a wilderness tracking competition with her bloodhound, expecting a test of skill. Instead, she finds herself ambushed in remote backcountry by an escaped fugitive seeking revenge. Stranded without resources and cut off from outside help, she must navigate the threat alongside Vance Silverton, a bounty hunter and complicated figure from her past. The third entry in Dana Mentink's Security Hounds Investigations series layers romantic tension, genuine danger, and faith-driven resilience into a tight survival thriller where the wilderness itself becomes as threatening as the man hunting them.

Abby Craden brings sharp clarity to the tension, keeping the pacing urgent without sacrificing the quieter emotional beats between Stephanie and Vance. Her voice captures both the grit of survival scenes and the warmth of the faith underpinning the story, making the inspirational elements feel earned rather than imposed. At just over five hours, the runtime is ideally suited to audio, delivering a focused, immersive experience that rewards listeners looking for suspense with genuine heart.
