Choices We Make: The Price We Pay for Love - A Dangerous Urban Fantasy Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247409410)

After crossing lines that should never have been touched, Mara Vex and Kael Rhyse have forced the city to look at itself-and it doesn't like what it sees. Shadow networks are exposed. Quiet power is dragged into the light. And the fragile balance holding the city together is beginning to crack.

For Mara, standing in the open means becoming a target. The council she once served is closing ranks, rewriting the narrative, and deciding how much truth they can afford. Every choice she makes costs political ground, personal safety, and the illusion that reform can happen without blood on its hands.

For Kael, survival has never been the goal-only responsibility. But when the city starts punishing those who refuse to stay quiet, his refusal to disappear becomes an act of defiance the system cannot tolerate. What once made him indispensable now makes him expendable.

And loving each other?

That may be the most dangerous choice of all.

As surveillance tightens and retaliation turns personal, Mara and Kael must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to keep the city alive-and whether love can survive when it's no longer hidden, no longer protected, and no longer deniable.

Because in a city built on control,
every choice has a cost.
And love always demands payment.
