Synopsis


HE THINKS HE’S TOO GUARDED TO LOVE.

Army Captain Nic Romero fears one thing: consequences.

Losing an arm and a leg in battle because he trusted the wrong woman was brutal enough. Now, he has a second chance at his military career with Project VIPER, the classified program that transformed him from a wounded warrior into an elite fighting machine.

This time, his walls are as impenetrable as his bionic body. But a blazing encounter at the beach with a secret-keeping siren threatens his defenses.

His only focus should be protecting her from a deadly threat. Problem is, her safety isn’t the only hard part of this mission. He’s already experienced the thrill of her addictive heat. Another hit could trigger consequences more dangerous than the enemy.

SHE THINKS SHE CAN’T BE PART OF HIS WORLD.

Dr. Olivia Darren never meant for her overprotective brother to find out she seduced his VIPER teammate. But thanks to the trouble tailing her, one night with playboy Nic Romero has morphed into a fever dream.

Now she’s entangled in a classified world of secrets and shadows with Nic assigned as her protector. His constant presence screams danger, his touch feels like a dare, and the powerful feeling that she’s destined to repair his wounded heart won’t retreat.

She doesn’t belong in his perilous world but try telling that to her heart that may have finally found where it belongs.

About the Author

Kristie Wolf is an award-winning author of steamy romantic suspense.

When she was a teenager, she read her first romance novel and connected with it so deeply that she immediately told her mother she was going to write one. She is thrilled to bring that dream fully to fruition with the release of Too Dangerous to Love, Book One in the Project VIPER Series.

While her career as a marketing professional in the government technology space hasn’t taught her to troubleshoot a computer, she’s fascinated with what happens when technology spectacularly fails. The chilling stories she’s heard from the nation’s tech leaders are the catalyst for plots about maniacal terrorists but don’t worry. Her military and law enforcement alpha heroes and badass heroines always save the day while burning up the pages and finding happily ever after. She’s looking forward to sharing the VIPER world with you starting with the October 2023 release of Too Dangerous to Love, followed by the February 2024 release of Knife to the Heart, Blood Snow Series Book One, and the Fall 2024 release of Too Lethal to Love, Project VIPER Series Book Two.

Kristie resides in Maryland with her husband - aka her tech support - and her two teenagers who participate in nearly every sport or activity ever invented. Many of her words are written on the pool deck, on the sidelines and in the bleachers, or in her car. When she’s not behind her computer she can be found:

· Training for her next half-marathon or walking her Vizsla and her Pittie-mix rescue while listening to her favorite authors.

· Watching cheerleading videos on her phone because she misses being a coach.

· Learning everything she can about Elvis Presley because she’s going to write a romance novel based on him someday.

· Making space in her closet for another pair of cowboy boots she doesn’t need but has to have.
