VIPER

Cole’s return home was supposed to be restful, but fate had other plans for the man, better known as Viper.
Enter the mysterious woman, wearing a hoodie, pursued by a relentless stalker. Unable to stand by, Viper sweeps into her life, proposing a fake engagement to silence the nosy people in their small mountain town after insisting she move in with him.
Bailey’s cabin was meant to be a refuge from her tormenter, not an unexpected detour into a stranger’s world.
However, her initial resistance to Viper taking charge begins to crumble as sparks fly and their limited shared space awakens dormant desires. And while she feels safe for the first time in too long, he poses a different challenge to her guarded heart. Their undeniable attraction and the heat from just a simple touch leave them perilously close to shattering their resolve to avoid love. Will they surrender to their yearning, or can they find a way to defy the odds?
