By Heather West

This is book 3 and the finale of the Vipers MC trilogy!

Loving her is savage mayhem.

She tore my heart to pieces.

And now she needs my help.

But when I find out what she's hidden from me, my rage knows no bounds.

Will I punish her for her sins, or keep her safe from our enemies?

ELI

My ex-wife left my heart in burning shreds.

I had to find out from a letter that she was leaving me.

She was too much of a coward to even tell me to my face.

But fate has a cruel sense of humor.

And seven years later, when I rescue a woman from a brutal destiny…

It's her.

She's just as gorgeous as I remember her.

Smooth curves and dark brown hair.

Creamy skin and lips like sin.

I can't decide what I crave more:

To claim her or to break her.

I shouldn't want this. She left me in the dust.

But my mortal enemy wants her blood.

She needs my help.

Only I can protect her.

But Tori has been hiding secrets from me, and now, they threaten to ruin everything.

F**k it all.

I'll kill everyone in the world if I have to.

I'm not losing my woman again.

TORI

Leaving Eli nearly destroyed me.

But I had no choice.

Seven years after I threw away the love of my life, he somehow finds me again.

Just when I need him, the man I've always loved grabbed me from the jaws of death.

Eli is an enigma, chaos personified.

Both sweet and savage, kind and cruel.

My angel. My demon. My savior. My doom.

But my body still longs for his, and I can't help but give in to his touch.

It's everything I remember and more.

There's no time to relax, though.

The killers on my trail are threatening to ruin my rediscovered paradise.

Eli says he'll keep me safe from them.

He says, this time around, he won't let me go again.

But he doesn't know about the secrets I've been hiding from him.

And if he finds out what I've done…

I might lose everything once more.

Chapter One

Eli

Icouldn’t get my bike to move fast enough. Why the hell wouldn’t it go faster? And why wouldn’t everybody get the hell out of my way? Didn’t they know I was in a hurry?

I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t slow down. I couldn’t get the sound of George’s voice out of my head.

I think they took my mama. They hurt Daniel. Please come. The bad guys were here.

The bad guys. Yeah, they were the bad guys, all right. Very bad. If I knew Vitaly was behind the whole thing, I wouldn’t have left them alone. Even with Daniel. Hell, I would have gotten them out of town. Maybe out of the country. No wonder he wouldn’t leave her alone. No wonder it felt so personal. It was personal for him. Why, I never really knew. Why he couldn’t let it go. Why he couldn’t leave me alone. Why I hadn’t fucking killed him when I had the chance.

My fault. My fault. All my fault. If I had just killed the son of a bitch when I had the chance. No, I left him there. Why? It would have taken two fucking seconds. Less than that, and he would’ve been out of my life forever. Out of my family’s life. They didn’t do anything do deserve it. Why was he back? Why did he have such a hard-on for me and the people I loved? I would think he’d give me a fucking break since I spared his life. I shouldn’t have. God, I shouldn’t have. I would never forgive myself for letting him live.

I roared, screaming into the wind as I rode faster than I ever rode on a crowded street in my life. Cars swerved out of the way for me, and I didn’t pay attention to the way they sounded their horns and yelled at me. They were nothing, less than nothing. It didn’t matter. I needed Tori. I needed to get to Tori.

I knew Spike and Marco were behind me. I didn’t know who else followed. I hoped there were enough to go with me to follow Vitaly—not that I thought I needed backup against him, but I didn’t know how many guys he had. If somebody had taken Daniel down, there had to be a good number. He was a big guy. I had seen him fight off two, three men at once. I needed all the help I could get.

I was hardly in a parking space before I jumped off my bike and ran for the doors. My kid was in there. Alone with a guy who might have been dead. Daniel. What did they do to him? I took the stairs two at a time instead of waiting for the elevator, my feet pounding down the hall as I ran for my apartment.

George? I shouted his name before I got through the door, and he ran to me. I picked him up, held him close. Oh, thank God. Thank God you’re still okay. Where were you when it happened?

In the bedroom. I was taking a nap. I heard noise out here, and I got scared, so I hid under the bed.

Oh, smart kid. Smart boy. I’m so glad you did that. I know your mama would be, too. Where had they taken her? I didn’t have the first idea. Did you hear anything, George? Anything they said to her?

He shook his head. I put him down, going to Daniel. He was a mess, blood all over the floor. George cried a little, and I told him to look away. It’s okay, buddy. He’ll be all right. It looks worse than it is. I hoped I wasn’t lying to the poor kid. I didn’t know how bad it was or if Daniel would ever wake up. Or if he would be the same guy when he did.

I held my fingers to the side of his neck. He was breathing, at least. I smacked his cheeks with the backs of my fingers. By that time, the others came in. I motioned for them to help Daniel, while I went to George.

My friends are gonna help me find your mama, I said, crouching down so we were face-to-face. And we’re gonna bring her home, okay?

Do you know where they took her? he asked. I couldn’t lie to the kid.

No, I don’t. But I’m gonna find out. I can promise you that.

How? How can you find out?

I’m not sure yet, I admitted. But I will. I’ll find a way. I would never let anything happen to her without trying my best to help her. I can promise you that, George.

Do you love her?

I didn’t think twice before answering. I do, I said. I love your mama very much. She means a lot to me.

To me, too. I hugged him, felt the way his body shook. My kid. My boy. I wanted so much to tell him who I was to him, but I didn’t dare. He had been through enough already that day. I didn’t need to scar him for life by dropping that bombshell on him.

He’s coming to. I let go of George, told him to watch TV while I talked to Daniel. I only hoped he could tell me something, anything at all.

Hey, brother. What happened here? I tried to keep my voice light for George’s sake, when I really wanted to ask him what fucking army
