I fought the son of a bitch. Woulda won, too, except the bastard had help. He was rough around the edges and some kind of bad-ass biker so there was no way this was going to work out well. Unfortunately, he called to me on a purely sexual level. Made my heart race and my body melt just by looking at me. It didn\u2019t help that he was actually nice to me. He claimed to know my dad. My real dad. Said he\u2019d been sent to bring me back. I had no idea if I believed him or not. Just didn\u2019t really have a choice but to go along with him. At least for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Viper:<\/strong>&nbsp;I tracked the cunning little wench for three fuckin\u2019 days. In the fuckin\u2019 snow. Little wench was good, too. She survived on her own in a hostile environment with only a little trouble. That alone would have given me respect for her, but then she had to go and kick me in the balls. Had I not been on the ground in agony, I\u2019d have been turned on beyond belief. Now, with her safely under my protection, I\u2019ve got to figure out how to keep my hands off her so her father won\u2019t kill my sorry ass. He\u2019s our intel man and one of my best friends, so I don\u2019t want to cause him grief. But I want Darcy. Badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Christmas nears, an enemy approaches us with a unique gift. One that will leave all of us with hard choices. Darcy especially.

She launched herself at Viper. In reflex, he caught her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two things happened when he closed his arms around her. First, Viper recognized she was more than a girl. The woman had curves aplenty, two of which were mashed against his chest, rubbing over him with every movement of her body. Second, the woman was fucking <em>fierce<\/em>. Viper was perfectly capable of defending himself, but he was hesitant to do anything for fear of hurting her. So she pummeled him with that fucking rock. By sheer luck, she didn\u2019t catch his head with it, only his jaw. Viper retained his hold on her with one arm securely around her waist while using the other to block her blows as best he could. For such a small little thing, she packed quite a punch! Despite his efforts, she still connected several times before Arkham disarmed her. Bastard didn\u2019t help him any more than that. <em>And still, she fought<\/em>. Apparently frustrated with her lack of progress, Darcy shrieked, kicking out and continuing to hit at him with her fists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKnock it the fuck off, woman!\u201d Viper finally set her on her feet and captured her wrists in his hands and wrapped his arms around her, trapping her with his superior strength. \u201cLook at me, Darcy!\u201d Viper used every ounce of command he possessed. In the end, it was probably the use of her name that made her pause in her tirade. \u201cLook at me!\u201d When she gave him a wary look he took a breath. \u201cYour father sent us to find you and bring you home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Continue \u27ff <a href=\"https:\/\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/index.php\/excerpt-viper-by-marteeka-karland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"TO READ FULL EXCERPT (opens in a new tab)\">TO READ FULL EXCERPT<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Marteeka Karland:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Marteeka.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Marteeka Karland\" class=\"wp-image-8579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Marteeka.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Marteeka.jpg?w=230&amp;ssl=1 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Marteeka Karland<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Romance author by night, emergency room tech\/clerk by day, Marteeka Karland works really hard to drive everyone in her life completely and totally nuts.
