The Viper: A Broken Ridge Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735868165)

A brash DEA agent and a ruthless private detective collide in this seductive small-town tale of revenge, murder, and the unbreakable bond between sisters.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Apparently, they haven't met the Archer sisters.

Owner of Archer and Archer, Inc., a prestigious New York private investigative firm, Colette Archer embodies effortless perfection in her couture suits and trademark chignon. But this private investigator has a secret. When night falls, Colette slips on her wig and into the persona of a tequila-guzzling hustler who occasionally fancies two men instead of one.

This double life is an unwelcome side effect of a horrific past-one that she and her sister, Jade, a bohemian, martial-arts-instructing renegade, are determined to settle once and for all... regardless of who they must destroy in the process.

DEA agent James Black is one mistake away from spending his career behind a desk. In a last-ditch effort to save his future, he seeks the help of ice queen Colette Archer. Despite the heat between them, she seems to despise him almost as much as poly-blend fabrics.

After following Colette and her sister to a sleepy small town in Montana, James uncovers a dangerous pact to avenge their past. Using Colette's weakness to his advantage, he manipulates her into helping him track a ruthless drug lord. But when Colette is brutally attacked, James realizes he's set something far more dangerous in motion-something that could cost him his career... and the woman who's stolen his heart.
