Merciful Lies Lies can be merciful. It just depends on the why. Anna:I knew the second I saw him, my life would change forever. When my brother offers me as payment to Nico Fury, the king of the Vipers, how can I refuse? Tattooed, built, and tall, he was the only man I saw when I walked into the room. It was like he occupied all the available space, sitting on his throne of blood, sweat, and lies. Nerves assailed me, but I owed my brother too much to let anything happen to him. One night. That was all. But it would leave me wrecked. Actions always had consequences. Six months later, my brother was killed by a rival organization, and now they were after me. There was only one place I could go to keep my unborn baby safe. I just hoped the king would be merciful. Nico Perfect things didn’t exist, at least not in my experience. But she was pretty close. I had her in my bed for one night, and I couldn’t shake the memory. No, I wasn’t meant to keep soft things like Anna Keller. My life belonged to my crew, and we were a vicious group. Hell, we weren’t called Vipers for nothing. But she was different. She made me want, and I loved and hated her for it. Anna was light in a world of constant darkness. She was all warmth and beauty like no other. And I craved her like a drug. Six months had passed since I took her in return for clearing her brother’s debt to me, but that man attracted trouble like honey did flies. It wasn’t long before I learned Sam Keller had gotten himself killed. Less than an hour later, Anna came back to me, on her knees, asking for sanctuary. I knew the moment I saw the swell of her stomach she was carrying my baby. Anna thought coming here would protect her, but she was walking right into the Viper’s nest. Before I was finished, my little runaway would be begging me for mercy.

This is not how I imagined I would end up at my age. Sleeping on my mother’s couch.


After hours of tossing and turning, I finally pass out only to be woken up by a godawful racket.


Ugh. This is what’s wrong with health conscious people.


I grunt and get up from the sofa at the sound of the blender going nuts.


It’s only five in the morning, and someone is about to get punched in the nose.


Angel dropped me off last night with a chaste kiss on the lips and nothing more, and I have to admit I felt more than a little confused.


The things he said about his intentions and stuff really threw me for a loop. I have no idea if I believe him.


The second I allow myself to trust him, I know he’s going to break my heart. I’m just not built to deal with all that.


Nope. Not me. But how can I expect a man like that to be satisfied with someone like me?
