A More Deadly Union — Gayle Carline

How far would you go for someone you love? Someone is threatening Peri Minneopa's client. The most likely suspect is a man whose past relationship with her client could ruin his chances at being elected mayor. This would be easier if her boyfriend, Detective Skip Carlton, wasn't in a coma after being shot. Peri's been dating him for 10 years, but without a marriage license, she can't even visit him in the hospital. She knows better than to interfere with the police's efforts to find Skip's shooter, but her case keeps showing up in the middle of their investigation. Now she's questioning her skill and her need for independence. What is she willing to do to solve her case and see Skip wake up?
