Venom and Sand

Expert trapper and portal drifter Leona is determined to avenge her sister's murder, but every time she gets close to discovering the identities of the culprits, the trail runs cold.

But the deception wears on him as he grows closer to Leona. When a vengeful foe from Everett's past targets Leona, he realizes just how deeply he cares for her. He desperately wants to be with her, but he knows revealing the truth about what he's done will destroy their partnership—and shatter them both.

As Leona and Everett are forced to work together to ensure their survival, they become entangled in a conspiracy that threatens the one thing they truly need: each other.
