The holiday season means nothing to Zayid Moran, except running the risk of freezing whenever he's on the job. An accomplished sniper, he spends his days either lying in wait for his mark, or on the couch with his cat. When a job goes wrong and someone steals his target from under his nose, Zayid finds himself trapped in a game of cat and mouse that he never asked for. Too bad his opponent doesn't care what Zayid thinks. Minato Walsh has spent too long planning out his rightful revenge. He never intended on taunting Zayid, but the assassin is too easy to rile. He's also the first person to ever get under Minato’s skin. As their game heats up and the sparks between them begin to ignite, the horrors of Minato’s past catch up to him—leaving him shattered once more. With survival on the line, the rules of the game have changed, leaving Zayid and Minato to decide if they're ready to stop resisting their connection, and instead, start fighting for each other. A Past Too Broken is the first book in Abrianna Denae’s Bloodstained Love series. It contains a sniper, a mercenary, a cat named Reggie, way too many Netflix shows, and an HFN.
