As far as the people of Fallport were concerned, Misty Bridges was just the new girl in town with a service dog. What she didn't broadcast was that her dog Roya was a trained cadaver dog. Most people saw it as something ghastly, but she knew firsthand that a cadaver dog meant the difference between bringing a family member home or a lifetime of uncertainty for loved ones.

It was a valuable service and Roya was a natural.

Gabriel Armstrong has been a Fallport Deputy for a few years. He’s got a good head on his shoulders, and a work ethic that won’t quit. He’s seen the SAR team fall in love like dominoes and then his brother, Joshua.

Gabriel thinks he might just be up for a Happy Ever After of his own, but it won't be anyone he knows. Especially Misty Bridges, who's new to town... they just can't seem to get along.

His boss assigns him to work with Misty on a case in Richmond and it soon becomes obvious that she needs someone looking out for her, because she’s attracted the attention of someone who has no problem ending lives just because he wants to.

With their lives tangled together, can Gabriel and Misty set aside their natural need to push each other's buttons if it means dropping the hammer on a killer? And maybe... they'll realize that their Happy Ever After is the person standing beside them.
