She was raised to be her father’s weapon. He was the man she was sent to destroy. Neither of them knew that when she let him take her to bed.
Vincenzo Marchetti runs Boston. The woman they call the Viper was built to end him — and she doesn’t learn who he is until she’s already been in his bed. What follows is a slow, vicious game between two people who each know the other is lying, and who both understand that the moment one of them tells the truth, someone dies.
But her father has been lying to her since she was ten years old. Her mother has been dead for seventeen years — allegedly. And the story her whole life was built on is starting to come apart.
Book One does not end with a happy ever after. Book Two finishes what it started.
Read in order:
Book 1 — Love Me or Kill Me

There is a room in the Salazar house with a gold lion on the door, and a stool in the middle of it.
A woman is brought in. She is made to stand on that stool while thirty men decide what she is worth. She answers their questions. She undresses if she’s told to. And at the end of it, one of nine brothers either marries her or sells her.
The brothers call it a selection. Their mother calls it tradition. The women it happens to call it the worst night of their lives — and then they have to live the rest of them.
This series is told by the women.
Not by the men who take them. By the wives — the ones who lie awake mapping exits, who learn Spanish so they can understand what’s being said over their heads, who smuggle tequila into the garden because a bad night is more survivable drunk. They are outnumbered, watched, and married to men who kill people for a living.
They are not helpless, and they are not alone.
Set in Houston, among a family whose loyalty is a threat rather than a comfort. Expect forced marriages, men who are honest about exactly what they are, and women who stay sharp.
