Ashley thought she could outrun her past—but a broken-down car on a deserted highway throws her into a brutal biker ambush. Her world collides with the Steel Vipers MC, a brotherhood bound by steel, loyalty, and danger. Rescued by four men—Nolan, the commanding President; Jax, the scarred Enforcer; Ace, the silver-tongued VP; and Cole, the reckless Prospect—Ashley is pulled into their world... and into their hearts. With rival gangs, a ruthless cartel, an obsessed ex, and a relentless detective closing in, trust turns to temptation, desire, and a forbidden bond with all four men. On the open road, survival isn't guaranteed... but wild, dangerous love just might be. ****** "You don't get to choose who I protect," Nolan growled, blood dripping from his ribs. "You just get to live with the fact that you're worth dying for." Ace's grin cut through the smoke: "Careful, princess—keep showing off like that and I might have to claim you right here on the bar." Jax pressed his forehead to hers, gunfire echoing behind them: "I don't promise, Ashley. I deliver. And tonight, you're mine to deliver alive." Cole's voice slid over the phone: "The desert swallows secrets, querida—but it won't swallow you. I'm coming to dig you out of their bones."
