She looks like a normal 16-year-old girl. Sweet. Quiet. Innocent.
But Stella Knight is anything but ordinary.
Known in the underground as Viper, she's an elite assassin raised in the shadows - fluent in deception, trained to kill. After a daring escape from Russia, all she wants is to disappear. To start over. To breathe.
But fate has other plans.
When her long-lost brothers and twin sister - powerful, dangerous men with secrets of their own - suddenly reenter her life, they're stunned to discover the sister they thought was gone forever.
Where has she been...?
What happened...?
Who is she?
As suspicions rise and old wounds resurface, Stella must carefully balance the truth she hides with the life she's beginning to rebuild - including an unexpected connection with a certain step-brother.
But every secret comes at a price.
And some truths are deadlier than lies.
There is just no need to know.

You knock down one or two of us we'll have your name on a gravestone," Louis grins evilly. "Are you underestimating my shooting skills?" I question. "Do you want to find out," Louis dares. "No! No the fuck we don't," Chase yells. He shoots me a 'what the fuck is wrong with you' look and I shrug.
