Jamie Carter escaped a toxic marriage, determined to build a quiet life for her and her daughter. The last thing she needs is trouble—especially in the form of Ethan “Ace” Cross, the ruthless leader of the Steel Vipers. He’s dangerous, dominant, and far too tempting for a woman who swore off men like him. Ace doesn’t do attachments. He takes what he wants, and right now, he wants her—the fiery woman who dares to stand up to him. He sees something in her, something untamed beneath all that defiance. And he intends to break it… or set it free. But when Jamie's past comes knocking and rival clubs close in, she’s forced to decide, run again or risk everything for the one man who might be even more dangerous than the demons she left behind. She should say no. She should walk away. So why does surrendering to him feel so right?
