Velvet KnivesUpdated at Aug 4, 2025, 09:19
Selene Voss has lived her life in the shadows. A former operative who walked away from a brutal syndicate, she has spent years building a quiet existence under false names and careful routines. But when a final mission goes catastrophically wrong, she doesn’t just flee—she burns every bridge behind her and becomes a marked woman.
Running was supposed to be simple. Lay low, vanish, never get close to anyone.
Then she meets Rina.
Rina Hale is quick‑witted, stubborn, and far too curious for her own good. When she crosses paths with Selene in a grimy roadside bar, she doesn’t see the danger coiled beneath the surface. She sees only a woman whose haunted eyes carry a secret worth knowing. A spark flares between them—sharp, undeniable, and impossible to ignore.
But sparks are dangerous when you’re being hunted.
Drawn together by an attraction neither can control, Selene and Rina are soon bound by more than chemistry. When Selene’s past erupts into their lives in the form of ruthless hunters and old betrayals, Rina is pulled into a world of coded messages, untraceable weapons, and allies who can’t be trusted. Together they hit the road, racing through backwater towns and fog‑shrouded forests, trying to stay one step ahead of killers who always seem to be closing in.
Selene knows the rules of survival: never hesitate, never trust, never feel.
But with Rina by her side, those rules start to shatter. Each stolen kiss, each late‑night confession, makes it harder to do what she’s always done—run alone. Rina, meanwhile, discovers a darker strength within herself: a willingness to fight back, to get blood on her hands if it means protecting the woman she’s falling for.
As their pursuers tighten the net, the pair navigate a dangerous dance of love and survival. The forest roads are long, the headlights in the rearview relentless, and every night could be their last. Yet in the midst of chaos, intimacy blooms—raw, urgent, and real. And when Selene’s oldest enemy steps from the shadows, Rina must decide how far she’s willing to go, and who she’s willing to become, to keep them both alive.
Velvet Knives is a heart‑pounding thriller and an unforgettable love story. It’s about two women forged in fire and danger, discovering that sometimes the only way to survive the hunt is to stop running—and start fighting—together.
