Under the lights, I’m untouchable. Off-camera, I’m a target.

The messages. The shadows. The fear that someone’s always watching. Then he shows up. Lucas Dane.

My new protection detail—or maybe my newest mistake. He doesn’t talk much, but when he does, the world goes quiet. Cold eyes. Hard jaw. Tattoos that tell stories I’m not sure I want to hear. They say he’s lethal. Calculated. Unbreakable.

They call him The Viper for a reason. One look, and I know he’s poison. One touch, and I don’t care. He says he’ll keep me safe. But the way he watches me, the way his voice drags across my skin—it doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like a warning.

Because men like Lucas don’t just protect. They claim.

And once he’s wrapped around me, I don’t want to escape.

About the author

Jack Flynn

25 books67 followers
Jack Flynn co-writes dark billionaire military romance with Lainey Ray.

Jack is a former military man with a sharp mind, a devilish smirk, and a habit of taking control—in fiction and otherwise. He likes his books like he likes his combat strategies: fast-paced, explosive, and leaving no survivors. When he’s not crafting tactical missions and deadly antiheroes, you can find him reading action thrillers, watching war movies, or engaging in other kinds of action we won’t discuss here.

Jack brings the precision, the danger, and the raw intensity to every Jack & Lainey book. He knows exactly how to build a hero who commands a room, claims a woman, and takes down anyone who dares to stand in his way.

Rumor has it, Jack never loses control … unless Lainey’s involved.

Lucas Dane, The Viper, is a no nonsense, by the book soldier who gets the job done by whatever means necessary. Lexi Montgomery maybe a Silver Screen icon but underneath all the glitz, glamour and press she's an unhappy person looking to break free even if for just a few hours. The way in which these two meet is a bit unusual but it starts them on the road to something that cannot be denied. Set against the backdrop of a movie set, Lucas becomes Lexi's protector. A threat is out there and he will not let Lexi be put in danger. An interesting plot twist is thrown in by Jack Flynn and Lainey Ray that will surprise you. The Dane brothers are still pulling threads trying to find out or what is out to get them. Does it all tie back to their father?

The Viper is another strong entry in the Dominion Hall Series, and Lucas and Lexi make an incredible team. They’re both powerful, capable characters on their own, but together they feel truly invincible. Their dynamic is intense, supportive, and compelling from start to finish.

The book brings the expected mix of danger and intrigue, especially as the Vanguard storyline continues to twist in new directions. The possibility that Byron Dane may still be alive adds a whole new layer of tension to the overarching plot. The romance is heartfelt and steady, and the story delivers the HEA that makes these books so satisfying.

A great blend of action, emotion, and ongoing mystery — Lucas and Lexi definitely earn their place in the series.

Fairytales can come true

What a great book. And a lot of suspense and the characters were really interesting because they were real and you saw all their flaws and their charms. It all made sense and as the story continues with, whatever is hovering over the Dane family it’s getting very interesting.
