He never wanted the life. She never wanted the danger. But fate doesn’t ask permission.

Rattler joined the Demon Dawgs for one reason—to protect his twin sister, Viper. Now that he’s patched into the Las Vegas chapter, the weight of the cut feels less like brotherhood and more like chains. Torn between loyalty and doubt, he’s searching for a way forward…until Bianca crashes into his world.

Bianca knows trouble when she sees it. Working at the Dawgs’ casino, she’s endured weeks of harassment from a man who won’t take no for an answer. When she confronts Rattler—convinced he’s the one—she discovers he’s not the predator. He’s the man who makes her feel safe. Too safe.

But safety is an illusion. Female employees are disappearing. A failed kidnapping attempt puts Bianca in the crosshairs of a ruthless trafficking ring. Rattler won’t stand by and watch her fall, even if it means defying the brotherhood he swore to protect.

Together with a cop who has his own secrets, Bianca and Rattler are dragged into a deadly game where every choice could cost them lives. Desire ignites between them, fierce and undeniable, but passion alone can’t shield them from the darkness closing in.

Loyalty. Danger. A love worth fighting for.
