The Sins of Silas by Kylie Snow

He thought she was dead. She thought he’d never forgive her. Now they must fight side by side—or lose everything. The Sins of Silas is a dark, high-heat romantasy with forbidden romance, forced proximity, and a dangerously addictive enemies-to-lovers arc. Perfect for fans of The Bridge Kingdom, From Blood and Ash, and ACOTAR.

From the Back Cover:

Five years ago, Silas La'Rune lost everything. After the deaths of his mother and Lena Daelyra, the love of his life, something in Silas changed, turning him into a cold, merciless man. His sole purpose became eradicating the kind he believed responsible for those deaths. Witches.

Silas, also known to the people of Tovagoth as "The Slayer of Witches," ended lives without remorse. Without mercy.

Until one day, he raided a Mage village and saw her.

Turns out Lena was very much alive. Not only that, but she had hidden her identity for the entirety of their romance. She herself was a witch-a Mage.

Despite his anger and hatred for the Mages, Silas showed mercy when he met eyes with the woman he had once loved. The two joined forces, wishing to recruit allies to not only overthrow Ulric La'Rune, the King of Otacia, but to rally against the necromancer that now terrorized the land.

While hiding their history from their friends, Lena and Silas must battle their rising feelings for one another amidst their forced proximity, where every glance serves as a reminder of the many days they were tangled beneath the sheets, lost in each other's embrace.

Silas couldn't be with Lena, couldn't hold her in his arms or feel her lips against his...because he was a married man now.

But despite his commitment to another, he couldn't get his first love out of his mind.
