Severed by Vengeance

The story is intense and gritty, but also filled with undeniable chemistry. I'm curious how the author navigated keeping both elements compelling without overwhelming the reader.

The characters' shift from hostility to desire felt both natural and shocking at times. What moments stood out as most convincing in this transformation?

The detailed world-building adds layers to the story, making it feel lived-in and dangerous. I'd love to know what sparked the author's interest in this particular environment.
