The Virgin and the Viper (Digital)

Samantha Fox is warned to beware of "him who bears the mark of the serpent." A fortune-teller advises her to seek her protector— Maahes, an Egyptian lion deity whose name means "he who is truly beside her." Her research leads her to believe that she’s the subject of a curse from long ago. A curse that once claimed her biological mother’s life.

She meets German investor Jaeger Lehmann at work, whom she believes to be her protector. However, she soon discovers he is not who he claims to be and manages to escape his hold over her and flee town. Lost on a desolate road with no sense of direction, she suddenly swerved to avoid a lion, causing her car to roll.

She is rescued by James Stewart, a man who promises to keep her safe. In his arms, she finds solace—until she realizes he has secrets of his own. He reveals that she is the target of a dangerous syndicate due to the size of her inheritance. Fearing for her life, she flees from him as well, but this time, there is no escape.

Amidst danger and deception, Samantha discovers love and romance, which not only captures her heart but also shapes her future.
