The Wreck on Copperhead Bridge

Daphne Calloway pulled a man out of the water at four in the morning on Copperhead Bridge and gave him CPR until her shoulder tore. In the ER, she learned the man was her husband's brother, and that her husband was in a motel across town with a woman named Susannah. She didn't cry on the hospital floor. She drove home, fed the dogs, and started building the case that took Card's patch off. Two years later she runs a K-9 training school in Boise with a night roster full of police departments and a shoulder that still clicks before rain. Card is on parole, mopping marina docks, and bringing her a rescue malinois with a broken leg because he doesn't know any other way to ask. She names the dog Copperhead. He pays the vet bills in installments. She won't let him visit. An MC biker romance of cheating, betrayal, and a grovel you can measure in dollars, dogs, and one very small permission.
