Ties Broken
The Bleeding Hearts
Tes Archer
ASHER
She's the one I can never have; my enemy’s weapon, my forbidden temptation. I tried to destroy her before she could destroy me. But Julia Giovanni wasn’t just a threat. She was a storm wrapped in silk and secrets, and I was meant to drown in her. Now we’re bound by a deal that could either save us both or ruin everything. And I don’t know if I’m ready to find out which it will be.
JULIA
He’s the man I swore to kill, but then he shielded my heart, only to shatter it into jagged pieces. Asher Keinston thinks he knows me, even though he’s never met the version of me forged in blood and lies. This mission is my chance to finish what I started, to be free. To burn the last bridge between us. Only I didn’t expect him to set me on fire in return.
A forced alliance. A dangerous game of loyalty and betrayal. One wrong move, and it won’t be just lives taken but ties broken.
