Valiant
by Dohner, Laurann
Valiant drops you into a volatile world where genetically engineered hybrids are fighting for their place in a society that fears them. At the center is a human woman whose life is upended when she is forced into the orbit of a man who is as dangerous as he is misunderstood. The story thrives on a sense of constant, underlying threat, balancing high-octane survival with the slow-burn friction of two people who have every reason to stay apart. You will feel the weight of the isolation these characters face and the sheer intensity of the chemistry that eventually bridges the gap between them. This is for readers who want their romance served with a side of grit and high stakes, specifically those who enjoy seeing a tough, capable heroine hold her own against a hero who is practically wired for aggression.
