«Clipped Wings» by Betty Shreffler

They call me the Devil's assassin. It's true. I have blood on my hands.
As the VP of the Serpents, my life is driven by loyalty, honor, brotherhood.

Until I see her.

Too young, too innocent. Mine to claim.

What I am, what I do, can never reach her. My dark secrets are scars I bear alone.

I'm torn between my duties and the woman I'll die to protect.

Until . . . they try to take what's mine.

Contains mature themes.
