'When he’s assigned to protect her, the sparks that fly are both real and deadly.

'Hippie at heart, Harper MacBride has been controlled by her powerful parents since her teenage recklessness ruined her life. That’s bad enough. When her father is elected as Australia’s Prime Minister, she’s forced into her parent’s political spotlight and hates her life even more.

'Guilt over a disastrous decision Drake St Claire, (Codename: Viper) made in his twenties, had anger fueling his veins when he joined the army. But when that too implodes, his reckless thirst for danger and his unique detonation skills forged his fireman career and his role in the Alpha Tactical Ops team.

'Bad-tempered Viper is assigned to protect rebellious Harper, who is a complete pain in his ass, yet damn irresistible. When an explosive attack on the prime minister has them in a deadly race for their lives, they witness something that puts them square in the killers’ crosshairs.

'As the body count rises, Harper and Viper must learn to trust each other, or they’ll become victims in the biggest conspiracy Australia has ever seen.'
