Synopsis: 
Marcos Rivera is a fighter. A gang member. Someone who has seen the dark side of 
humankind and survived. He has lost family and gained enemies. He has stolen cars and 
destroyed hearts, stripping one for money and the other for pleasure. His past is haunted 
and his future is bleak. 
Until her. 
Katie Foster is a high school history teacher. Smart, strong, and sexy. She is a woman 
Marcos shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t touch. Shouldn’t love. He met her in Garnet, a 
backwards, hick town that’s the last place in the world he wants to be, but he finds 
himself going back for a taste of the forbidden. 
Katie represents all that is good in the world, and Marcos knows he’s nothing but trouble 
for her perfect life. He fights and he screws. He commits crimes and he breaks the rules. 
He will never change and he will never escape his gang lifestyle. 
Or can he? 
What happens when two different people from two very different walks of life risk it all 
by giving into the passion that threatens to consume both of them? Can a woman who 
only knows how to play it safe give her heart to a man who lives hard and loves harder? 
Will she survive The Viper? 


EXCERPT 
“You’re not exactly a ten, Katie.” Grayson laughed cruelly, reminding Katie 
why she left to begin with. “No one is going to love you for your mind like I do, 
not in this town. I’m your best option, and I don’t understand why you did this 
to us.” 
“I think she’s a ten,” a man called from behind them. 
Goose bumps danced over Katie’s skin, and she wasn’t sure why until she 
craned her neck to look toward the direction of the low, male voice. Her body 
must have recognized what her mind hadn’t caught up with, because walking 
over to them was Marcos Rivera. He was wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat, 
but it was undeniably him. She could see the snake tattoo on his arm from there. 
He looked larger than life in the late afternoon sun with those impossibly 
broad shoulders and large, bunched biceps covered in tribal tattoos. She couldn’t 
help but notice that every inch of him seemed wound tight and ready to jump—
like a tiger stalking prey. She blinked, understanding for the first time all those 
warnings Jules had been leveling at her in regards to Marcos. 
This wasn’t the kind, handsome angel from the crash site. 
This Marcos looked deadly. 
He took off his sunglasses when he stopped in front of them. His light gaze 
rested on the steely grasp Grayson still had on her arm. “This is the part where 
you let her go.” 
“Excuse me?” Grayson huffed in that annoying superior voice of his that had 
always embarrassed Katie when he used it in public, usually toward someone 
parking their car or waiting on them at a restaurant. “This is my wife and—” “Ex-wife,” Katie corrected before Grayson could finish. She was still staring at 
Marcos in shock, unable to believe he was really standing there in front of her. 
“What are you doing here?” 
Marcos broke the dangerous staring contest he was having with Grayson. He 
let his gaze run over her hotly for one long moment, making more goose bumps 
dance over her arms. A small bit of the tension eased out of his powerful frame, 
and the look in his beautiful eyes became warm just like she remembered. “I got 
your messages.” 
“My messa—” Katie cheeks heated when she realized what he was talking 
about and her voice was a squeak of acknowledgement. “Oh.” 
There was a quiet moment between them, one charged enough that Katie 
was actually breathless to be in his presence again after so long. Strangely enough, 
she could feel it off Marcos too. That electric fission of need so overwhelming it 
actually showed on his face and translated into something tangible enough that 
even someone as romantically challenged as Katie could sense it. As if 
remembering they weren’t alone, Marcos cleared his throat and turned back to 
Grayson, his eyes narrowed in warning once more. 
“Yeah, I’m gonna have to insist you get your hands off her.” He eyed
