Shattered Veil by Eliza Modiste

Chilling sights and committed sins haunt his dreams, but there is only more to come.

James Turner is not one to shove his emotions in a bottle, but his current circumstances have rendered bottling a necessity. The harrowing memory that looms in his mind—the crime committed months prior with his chosen family in a desperate act of survival—is rarely, if ever, spoken of. After all, it seems far easier for everyone to simply go on with their everyday lives in an attempt to drown out the noise that no doubt lingers above them.
True solace evades him, though, and who weighs on his shoulders nearly as heavily is the one he shouldn’t want. A close friend’s little sister. The one that he knows should be forbidden. Cassie Cohen.
