Blue Rose: A Tale of Love - Book 1 Azula Park never believed in perfect love. But when she met Javier Jeon, he made her believe in forever. He was everything-intoxicating, dangerous, and utterly impossible to resist. Their love was passionate, raw, and all-consuming, drawing them into a world where nothing else mattered. Until betrayal shattered everything. One night. One lie. One mistake. Azula thought Javier was her greatest love-until he became her greatest heartbreak. And when trust was replaced by pain, she had only one choice left: to run. But love like theirs doesn't die easily. As obsession, jealousy, and unanswered questions pull them back toward each other, Azula must confront the truth-was their love ever real, or was she just another game for the man who refuses to let her go? A story of burning passion, heartbreak, and the dangerous line between love and destruction.
