Killer Unleashed - An Unleashed Mystery – Book 1

🐾 One small dog.
🔑 One very big secret.
🚪 And trouble that won’t stay outside the door.

Killer Unleashed is the first book in the Unleashed Romantic Mysteries, set in the wider world of Westport — where Chloe learns that rescuing a dog can change everything.

Chloe’s life is already full.
A house. A best friend. A long history of saying yes when she should say no.

So when her elderly neighbour asks her to surrender a little dog named Theo to the animal shelter, Chloe agrees — even though she immediately regrets it. One look at Theo’s hopeful eyes and Chloe finds herself the reluctant owner of a dog she never planned to have.

That’s when things start to unravel.

An attempted dog snatching.
A break-in.
A masked attacker.
And a hit-and-run that makes it clear this isn’t bad luck — it’s something much worse.

With a new neighbour offering help, an ex-boyfriend asking too many questions, and a growing sense that Theo is at the centre of it all, Chloe realises the dog she rescued may be holding the key to a far more dangerous mystery.

If she can figure out why everyone wants Theo — and what he knows — she just might keep them both alive.
