Vipers and Vendettas

A desperate and cornered former slave with a dangerous secret. Six demons who aren’t ready to let her go. Can they save each other from an enemy who wants her back … and them dead?

I’ve worn many masks – thief, liar, con woman – and once upon a time, every mask and job seemed justified. Targeting those who I believed deserved it was a game. One I played well and always won.

Until my targets became … more.

Maddox, Daemon, Axel, Iron, Jayce, and Krase taught me the meaning of home, of loyalty. I taught them that I was a viper who couldn’t be trusted. Again.

The truth is, they mean more to me than I could ever say, filling my head with dreams of a life I’d never dared to hope for.

But it doesn’t matter now.

Everything I've been running from is finally catching up, and I'm not just fleeing for my life anymore; I'm fighting for a future that's suddenly become precious – a future I'll protect with every breath in my body.

Once a slave, now a con woman in hiding. But this deadly game of cat and mouse is one I’m afraid I’m not going to win. Time's running out, and the past I managed to outrun for so long is pacing at the gate, ready to collect.

I began my life a slave; I'll be damned if I end it as one.
