When my brother offers me as payment to Nico Fury, the king of the Vipers, how can I refuse? Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNerves assailed me, but I owed my brother too much to let anything happen to him.

My life belonged to my crew, and we were a vicious group. Hell, we weren't called Vipers for nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut she was different. She made me want, and I loved and hated her for it. Anna was light in a world of constant darkness. She was all warmth and beauty like no other. And I craved her like a drug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix months had passed since I took her in return for clearing her brother's debt to me, but that man attracted trouble like honey did flies.
