True love is patient, steadfast, a love that doesn’t demand … it heals.
COPPER
I’d wanted her before I’d even met her.
But I knew building a relationship with her would take time and care.
Deep down, I knew she had done something most people wouldn’t …at great cost to herself.
She was the strongest woman I’d ever met, someone who had taken on a dangerous job, sacrificing her own well-being to ensure others were safe.
From the moment I met her, it was clear she had been punishing herself for years. She believed she was incapable of love. I made it my mission to show her otherwise. To prove that she could love, and that she was worthy of having that love returned.
It became my duty to protect her and stand behind her whenever she needed me.
It took months for her to finally see what I saw when I looked at her.
I was a patient man, and we had time… until time ran out.
BELLA
Two years ago, I broke something important to me, and in the process, I broke myself. But I did it, and I would do it again, even if it meant hating myself for it.
And I did hate myself.
I punished myself, refusing to feel… because, my God, it hurt.
He wasn’t what I was expecting, yet not once did he make me feel like I needed to apologise for doing what was right. He supported me, and he showed me I was worthy of love.
What grew between us was something entirely different to what I’d had before. And I knew this because if I were asked the same question again, this time my answer would different.
He never pressured me, but he was always there …. steady, patient, and constant. His presence showed me, in every way, that I was worthy of being loved.
He thawed the coldness in my heart, one sweet gesture at a time, until I felt safe, cared for, and cherished.
This time I’d take the gift I’d been given and hold onto it for as long as I could or …. until time ran out.

This book is intended for mature readers 18 years and older. It includes, sexual situations, strong language, and violence.

Oh God, those first few pages broke my heart. I had such a hate on for Bella in Sam’s book, but after reading her side and why she had to cause them both heartache - oh Bells!!!!
This story from start to finish will play with your emotions.
Copper is a patient man, who’s known about Bella for years, waiting for her, until they are on the same “job”. A very dangerous job that could have a very serious outcome. You meet new people, learn more about the Skulls and Wraiths, and how important this job is.
This book brings all of the best feelings, love, family, heartache and happy ever after are all here.

I was intrigued by this one from the start, all due to Bella. I wanted to know what went wrong with her and Sam, so wrong that it seemed like she needed to crush him and go no contact with her family. Learning the why, it sort of makes sense, but I wish she wouldn't have had to be so brutal with Sam or not speak to her family. Sure Sam and Ally are a great match as are Bella and Copper and those pairing might not have happened if there was a sliver of hope out there, still doesn't make me like what happened.

I also find it interesting that Bella realized she isn't Bella any more, that her new name of Bee fits her better, fits the person she had to become on this journey. It's fitting. I loved how Copper just accepted Bella from the start, knew he wanted her and was just there for her, first as a friend and partner in the mission and waited until there was the possibility of more for them.

It was nice to see how this one ended, the mission accomplished, or at least their part of it and now they are ready to settle down and live their lives being happy with all the family around them.

From Heartache to Happiness

I’ve been waiting for Bella’s story and it was worth the wait. Bella and Copper meet during an undercover operation. She has broken up with Sam, left her family and business, and has been in training with the Cursed Skulls. Now she is working undercover but is still suffering from guilt, loneliness, and unresolved issues from her past. Copper knows Bella/Bee is in no condition mentally to start a relationship but is willing to be patient. Copper is extremely supportive and the kind of partner we all want in our lives. I loved their story. Ms. Dups makes you feel every emotion that Bee feels. It’s heartbreaking at times but in the end, she gets her very deserved HEA. The only thing I wished was to see her interact with her brothers. She had a lot of relationships to mend and I would liked to have insight into that.

Wow, what a great story. I'm glad I read Sam's books before this one because I really wanted to kick Bella's backside for treating Sam so badly. Reading Copper and Bella's story I realised that this is exactly where she's meant to be. Bella and Copper are exposing the bad guys and falling in love all at the same time. They are perfect for each other. I love the family bond with each of the characters and it's one of the reasons I love Michelle's books. I was so excited for this book and it didn't disappoint. This is definitely my number 1 read of 2025 and I think it's going to take a lot to knock it off that spot. Well done Michelle and thank you for always keeping us entertained so much. ⭐ ⭐ ✨ ⭐ definitely more than a 5 star read.

I was nervous going into this one because of how Belle had acted in Sam’s book and I just couldn’t see how she could come back from that, but I need not have worried. This story explained everything so well and changed my mind so quickly once it was clear why everything had happened and how it was the best thing to have happened.

Once I started I couldn’t stop and struggled to stop when I had to go back to work.

Highly recommend this series but would also recommend to go back to the start of the Crows MC to fully appreciate the intertwined stories.

Copper

Copper and Bee are perfect together as they work undercover against the traffickers. Bee evolved from Bella in the Crow MC to the woman in this story. Heartbreak has been her companion for years along with guilt over the choices she made and the pain she caused Sam and her family. They get their happily ever after and deserve it fabulous read!!

Michelle Dups has done it again...

... made me cry TWICE while reading one of her stories. I loved it though and like one of the characters says near the end "I can't wait to see what the future holds" not only with Wraith MC but also for Michelle Dups and the stories she's yet tell.
Thank you Michelle for a wonderful few hours of escapism. Looking forward to the one. 😊

Awesome book

Awesome book not gonna lie I was not Bella fan at all. But I do love them Tin men so I gave it a chance. Loved them together and I loved how badass Bee was and all the Tin men old ladies. Throw in the precious boy and it was a hit for me. Can't wait to see how Nickel gets his lady

Bella’s redemption

After Sam’s book I had a serious dislike for Bella so I was hoping she would redeem herself in this book and redeem herself she did in an epic way!
Copper gave Bella the support and friendship she needed until she was ready to be his like he knew she would be. A Tin man knows.

I highly recommend this book. Before starting this book you need to start with the first book. EMERGENCE PREQUEL (Queens Wraiths MC ) then COAL QUEENS WRAITHS MC.

Cooper & Bee

I loved seeing Bee come full circle. Cooper supported her from the get go and with that support she was able to heal the damage done by the choices she made. I loved their connection and the moments that formed a friendship that quickly turned to more. Their banter was cute and I loved the names the called each other. Seeing them interact with Noah was touching. I can't wait to see more of Noah, Sugar and Spice in the future.

Wow! My heart was broken and then put back together! I was so mad at Bella before I understood what she was doing. But well, you redeemed her in the best of ways. She and Copper are a perfect couple and I love how they came together. I couldn't put this one down, I absolutely love it!

So you think you know Michelle Dups' books? Motorcycle club romance with strong family ties? This books has all of that but it takes you on such a ride. The tension in the book builds and builds - to the point I had to get up and walk it off before I could continue - to a climax that does not disappoint.

But it still has all the things we love about her books. A strong sense of family, knowledge of right versus wrong, romantic tension, insertion of characters we already know and love with perhaps one or two or ... well, some new characters might be in there.

Noni is still my favorite Michelle Dups book but for completely different reasons this book is either tied or in second place by a narrow margin.

Buckle up, Buttercup! This one will take you on a ride!

I've been waiting for this book. When we last left Bella, she had broke Sam's heart, and I just wasn't sure if that action could be redeemed. Copper knows what Bella has done, but he doesn't blame her, or think she's terrible. He thinks she is one of the strongest people he has ever met. He understands what it took for her to walk away from everything and everyone she loved. All to help a greater cause. Now, he will do everything in his power to help her see herself the way he sees her. Strong, beautiful, with a heart full of love. And his. She is his! Another amazing book from Michelle Dups. Come along as Copper and Bella take down the bad guys, fall in love, and start their forever. Buckle up, Buttercup, 'cause it's one helleva ride!

Copper is book 2 in the Queen's Wraith MC, South Hampton Chapter. This is Copper and Bella's journey. This one had me in tears at the beginning of the book. After Sam's story, I wasn't a big fan of Bella at all so I'm glad this author gave us Bella's pov first. Copper and Bella's story is intense, gritty and intriguing. These two have a common bond that pulls them closer together. They are perfect for each other and despite my feelings toward Bella initially they've definitely changed since reading her and Copper's story. I absolutely recommend recommend their journey. Get all settled in, you're in for quite a ride!

I really loved Bella and Copper's story. I already knew I'd love Copper, but I'm just like everyone else out there who read Sam's Forever, I was holding a teeeeeny little bit of a Bella grudge. But don't worry! She not only redeems herself, but for the first time in a long time, she seems to be exactly where she's meant to be. Yeah there are some sad bits mixed in with the "hot damn" spicy bits, but there is also some amazing character growth AND a cute kid, a lot of family, the Queen's Wraith women and well, JUST READ THE BOOK! You won't regret it.

I really wanted to dislike Bella in Sam's book. I didn't like how she did things but I am glad that they didn't take their relationship further. Sometimes you may think you are in love with someone but it may not be the forever kind of love.

Copper and Bee rocks!

Where to start, this story was action packed! It rocked the pages, but at the core is family. I loved the connections from Crow MC, The Skulls and Queens Wraiths MC talk about packing a punch. Then, we have Copper and Bee! What a love story and add Noah. You will enjoy the neck out of this book. I gave it a five star rating, must read. Michelle or Chelle, I can't wait for the next one. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing! The author did not disappoint when writing this story! I've been waiting for Bella/Bee to finally get her HEA since Sam's books. Copper and Bee make an amazing couple and the work they are doing to so fulfilling and needed! I am really enjoying the Queens Wrath MC and all the crossovers between the authors other series.

Great read

Bee and Copper story was hard at times. But to see how much they love each other was great. To see bee go through so much and come out the other side with the love of her life and get her family back was great. Can not wait to see who the rest of the MC ends up with. Can not wait until the next one.

Might be my new fave from Chelle!

Michelle Dups has done it again!!! Of course she always nails her stories out of the park, but Copper is a whole new ballgame! I think he might be my new fave!
