If there's one thing the Ashton Grove M.C. can't stand, it's a man taking his fists to a woman. When Viper sits down to a game of poker with the Red Devils M.C., and their Sergeant at Arms tosses a woman in as his bet, Viper knows he has to win at all costs.

There's something about Viper's touch that sets her on fire and makes her want more, even if he hasn't looked at her in that way. As much as Scarlet would love to go back to her old life, she knows that isn't possible. With Viper's wolf prodding him along, and the lecherous glances of his brothers sending him into a rage, he knows it's only a matter of time before he claims Scarlet. But after everything she's been through, does she have what it takes to be an old lady?
