Ember of the Sundered Veil - M. Samman

She was sent to kill him. Now they're trapped together, and there's only one bed.

Seraphine Delacroix has never failed an assignment. A shadow-forged assassin of the Veiled Court, she deals in death without question. When she's ordered to eliminate Kaelan Ashford, the rogue mage accused of tearing the Veil between worlds, she expects a swift kill. What she finds instead is a conspiracy that runs deeper than her oaths, a man who isn't the monster she was promised, and a sudden betrayal that leaves them both fugitives.

Forced to flee into the wilds, the sworn enemies must rely on each other to survive. Kaelan's magic is unraveling. The Court wants them dead. And the only shelter for miles is a snowbound cabin with a single bed.

As they navigate monstrous creatures, shifting loyalties, and the ever-present threat of the Veil collapsing completely, the line between hatred and hunger begins to blur. Every reluctant alliance fans a slow-burn tension neither of them can afford. Because if Seraphine doesn't complete her mission, she becomes the hunted. And if she gives in to what burns between them, she risks more than her life-she risks the fate of two worlds.

Ember of the Sundered Veil is a full-length dark fantasy romance (approximately 95,000 words) packed with the enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity, and one-bed tropes. Perfect for readers who crave morally gray heroes, slow-burn heat, and a world teetering on the edge of ruin.
