These Thorns are Sharpest (Veil of Shadows: Second Generation Series Book 4)

A warrior bound by duty.
An angel haunted by her bloodline.
The only way to survive is together.

Chel never asked for time off but when the Queen of Hell demanded he take a “vacation,” the Hellion warrior found himself stranded on the Earthen plane. What should have been rest quickly became a hunt, chasing the strange creatures crawling out of the ocean. And then there was the little lie he told the grocery clerk… about being on his honeymoon.

A forced vacation.
A fake marriage.
And the one Hellion she can’t resist.

Teari has spent her life carrying her father’s sins, silenced by secrets too heavy to name. Now benched from her post as Gabriel’s healer, she’s sent on her first “vacation” but shadows are stirring, the Veil is thinning, and the truth she’s buried refuses to stay hidden. She might run from fate, but she can’t run from him.

Bound together by lies, desire, and the unraveling Veil, they’ll have to decide whether to risk their hearts or lose the ones they love most.

Perfect for fans of forbidden love, winged guardians, cursed devotion, and slow-burning passion set against gothic peril.
