Salt in the Wound, (Paperback)

<p><strong><b>SHE WAS BUILT TO FEED. SHE CHOSE TO HEAL.</b> </strong></p><p></p><p>Rain Holloway is a biological paradox. Half-Siren, half-Witch, she should be a predator feasting on the souls of men. Instead, she lives in the shadows of Port Haven, burning her own life force to heal the dying in secret. She is starving, hollowed out, and running out of time. </p><p></p><p>Jax Sterling is a weapon. Raised by the Guild and fueled by a toxic alchemical Tonic, he hunts the monsters that prey on humanity. He has been sent to Port Haven to exterminate a Level 4 Anomaly. He expects a fight. He does not expect <em>her</em>. </p><p></p><p>When a confrontation in a rain-soaked alley reveals that Rain isn't a monster, but a battery capable of filtering the poison in Jax's blood, the instinct to kill turns into a desperate need to protect. But they aren't the only ones watching. </p><p></p><p>Verrin, a General of the Abyss, has manifested in the smoke, seeking Rain's power to break the veil between worlds. And behind him, the Guild is closing in, ready to burn the city to the ground to destroy the anomaly. </p><p></p><p>Forced into an unlikely alliance, the Wolf and the Siren must run from the only lives they've ever known. But as the line between survival and desire blurs, they realize that the bond connecting them might be the weapon that saves the world-or the spark that destroys it. </p><p></p><p><strong><b>Salt in the Wound</b> is the explosive first book in <i>The Resonance Protocol</i>, a dark, high-stakes Romantasy perfect for fans of gritty urban fantasy, forbidden romance, and enemies-to-lovers.</strong> </p><p></p><p><strong><b>This book features: </b></strong><br> - Forced Proximity<br> - Touch Her and Die<br> - Magic vs. Technology<br> - A Broody, Protective Hunter<br> - A Morally Grey Heroine<br></p>
