He only grins wider, "Show no mercy, Angel." He rears up, lips capturing mine and pulling my face closer to his, his hand winding itself around my neck to hold me in place as he draws my whole being into his with only his poisoned tongue and daring words. . . "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." "The enemy of my enemy, is my enemy tomorrow." I counter. • • • They took everything from me. Hunt me. Underestimate me. I have nothing to lose . . . Until he shows up. He is my undoing. The unknown. I can't let him in. • • • He thought I had been broken, consumed in his games. Loyal. At least I was . . . Until I saw her. She is my redemption. She is the job. I have to kill her. • • • Trigger warnings - this book is a lot darker than Alliance and as such deals with descriptions of torture, assault, murder and mention of SA. If this is not for you, feel free to not read. There is some sex scenes throughout this book so please read at your own risk. The main character/s are also very morally grey so if you don't like characters torturing others, this isn't the book for you. • • • Cover by Quirky Circe on Etsy Started writing 09/19 - published 02/20 - finished 03/20.

Crimson Veil
They were built by the Syndicate-trained to kill, taught to trust no one, and bound by the kind of loyalty that gets people killed. Lila Serrin vanished three years ago, leaving a body, a trail of fire, and a man who would have died for her. Now she's back in the world she bled to escape-hunted, exposed and face-to-face with the one person she swore she'd never see again. Mikiel knows what she did and why she did it. He also knows that Sym won't rest until she's a ghost for real this time. Together, they have one rule: survive long enough to burn the empire that made them. But the closer they get to freedom, the more dangerous the pull between them becomes, because in their world, love is leverage. A slow-burn, high-stakes story of trust, vengeance and the thin line between devotion and destruction.
