He's her salvation. She's the chaos he never saw coming. When Mara runs from the Blood Vultures MC, her father's club, she knows there's no going back. Her old man sold her to the Iron Serpents MC to pay his debts, and now every outlaw on the highway is hunting her. Alone, broke, and desperate, she's out of options until Viper finds her. Vice President of the Devil's Crown MC. Ex-military. Dangerous as sin. Viper has built his life on control, but one terrified woman changes everything. Protecting her shouldn't matter this much, yet every time he looks into her eyes, walking away gets harder. Keeping Mara safe means going to war with two rival clubs. Loving her means risking his patch and his heart. When bullets fly and blood spills, Viper knows one thing for certain. No one takes what's his.
