He’s the quiet blade in the dark. She’s the cop who was never supposed to fall for him.
They call him Viper. Calm. Coiled. Lethal when it counts. In the Wilde Steel war room his word carries weight. On the street his silence does the killing. He does not ask for trust. He earns it, one steady breath at a time.
She came to close a case, not to walk through a door she cannot unwalk. Badge on. Lines drawn. Then the man she is supposed to fear is the one who keeps her breathing, and the city puts a target on her back that no precinct can cover.
Club and law are on a collision course. Enemies do not knock. Secrets do not sleep. Choosing a side means losing something she cannot replace. Viper keeps saying he will not let her fall.
She’s starting to believe him.
