Splintered Veil: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Urban Fantasy Novel (Splintered Magic Book 2)

She thought surviving the magical awakening was the hard part—until the most insufferable man in two worlds becomes the only one who can keep her alive.

The veil between the mundane and the magical is fracturing, and [protagonist] is still figuring out how to control the power crackling beneath her skin. The last thing she needs is *him*—arrogant, infuriating, and apparently essential to stopping whatever dark force is tearing reality apart at the seams.

They've been circling each other like two storms refusing to merge. He thinks she's reckless. She thinks he's insufferable. They're both right. But when the threat escalates and the body count rises, their carefully maintained hostility starts cracking at the edges, revealing something far more dangerous than hatred underneath.

Every argument carries heat that has nothing to do with anger. Every reluctant alliance costs them something they didn't plan on giving. And the closer they get to the truth about what's splintering the veil, the clearer it becomes that the walls they've built aren't protecting them—they're just delaying the inevitable.

This isn't a story about a woman finding herself. She already knows who she is. This is a story about what happens when someone worth fighting *for* turns out to be the one you've been fighting *against*.

Some fractures can't be sealed. Some feelings can't be unspoken.

And some second books hit harder than the first.
