Blood & Roses Volume 1

Some doors are better left unopened — but when your sister is on the other side, you'll knock on the most dangerous one you can find.

Sloane Romera is a trauma doctor who deals in facts, logic, and survival. When her sister vanishes into Seattle's criminal underworld, Sloane's clinical precision means nothing. Every legitimate lead goes cold. Every door slams shut. The only person who can pull her into that darkness and bring her back out alive is Zeth Mayfair — and Zeth doesn't do favors.

Zeth has spent years as one of Seattle's most feared men, carrying out jobs that would make most people lose sleep. Drugs, guns, dirty money — none of it keeps him up at night. But when his employer crosses a line even Zeth won't ignore, the carefully constructed walls around his life begin to crack. The woman standing on the other side of those walls, all fierce desperation and barely concealed fury, is the last thing he needs. And somehow, exactly what he's been missing.

What begins as a dangerous transaction between two people who have every reason to hate each other slowly unravels into something neither of them bargained for. In Seattle's shadowy underbelly, secrets are currency, trust is a liability, and desire is the most reckless thing of all.

*Blood & Roses Volume 1* is a scorching dark romance that doesn't flinch — and once it has you, it refuses to let go.
