https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
For Ress, survival is a complicated nightmare. Caught between two masters on different sides of the law, his life is falling apart one bad decision at a time. All he wants is to be is a good person, a loyal family man, and a successful metalsmith–a dream he can never obtain while he works for the Shar-denn, the violent gang that plagues the republic of Kattal.
To make matters worse, he works as an informant for the High Council. He scrapes through both jobs waiting for his last breath. As the Shar-denn motto says: the only way out is dead.
No stranger to living complicated decisions, Adren is caught between worlds of cir own. As the child of a Shar-denn faction boss, cir life is a conflicted tangle of expectation and duty. When cir family is arrested, Adren manages to escape, but nowhere is safe. Desperate and on the run, Adren is determined to punish Ress for turning in cir family. No one who betrays the gang can live. Ress must pay the price, even if Adren has to go against everything ce is.

"Soulbound" (The Republic #4)
In a relationship that violates rules and expectations, Mayr and Tash have found their perfect match in each other. Haunted by difficult pasts and painful truths, they hope for a shared future with security and a family.
But life is complicated, and so is the delicate balance between duty and love. As a high-ranking soldier, Mayr is sworn to protect the Dahe family and their citizens. By being a priest of the highest order, Tash has promised to serve the people and their Goddesses. For both, their involvement in gang matters endangers not only them but those they guard. Criminals lurk in the shadows, seeking revenge.
The life they want risks losing everything they've worked for and letting down the people they love -- including each other and Arieve, the woman willing to bear their child. Even if choices from their pasts don't destroy their future, will the present rip everything apart?
