Vic Chambers, known as the Serpent, operates in the shadows, vexing the affluent patrons of the Barbary Coast's brothels.
Though an unlikely duo, circumstances force them into an uneasy alliance. When you're in desperate need of assistance and your true identity is a closely guarded secret, alliances are born out of necessity.

As the Dragon declares war on the Serpent, Vic finds refuge where least expected – within the Dragon's lair. In this clandestine sanctuary, the Dragon unravels the layers of the brave young woman's persona. With each revelation, his admiration and passion for her intensify, eventually blossoming into love.
Yet, as their connection deepens, a looming question emerges... can the Dragon shield the petite woman who has stolen his heart, or will the Serpent be compelled to rise once more and come to the aid of the Dragon? The intricate dance between the Dragon and the Serpent unfolds against the backdrop of San Francisco's Barbary Coast, where secrets, love, and alliances are forged in the shadows.
