Marked By The Veil: He was built for violence. She made him crave peace. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184389219)

Talon Rook built his life on violence, loyalty, and fear.

As Vice President of the Black Veils, he survives by keeping his emotions buried and his hands bloody. Fighting is easy. Killing is easier. Love was never supposed to be part of the plan.

Then he meets Mara Quinn.

A tired nurse working underground cage fights to keep her reckless younger brother alive.

Mara is everything Talon should stay away from-soft where he is hard, hopeful where he is broken, innocent in all the ways he no longer remembers how to be. But the more time he spends with her, the more dangerous she becomes to him.

Because Mara makes him want things he swore he'd never need.

Peace. Loyalty. A future.

But when a brutal gang war explodes through the city and Mara's brother is caught between enemies, Talon is forced to choose between the life he's always known and the woman who sees the man beneath the monster.

In Talon's world, love isn't gentle.

It's violent.
Possessive.
Deadly.

And once he decides Mara is his-

He'll burn the whole city down before he lets her go.
