Kitty has never been one for small-town romance-she'd rather lose herself in daydreams by the pool than chase after the latest football hero. But when her best friend Tracy insists she meet the new guy in town, Kitty finds herself sitting in church beside Damian, a darkly magnetic stranger whose golden-blue eyes blaze with secret promise. Drawn by his effortless confidence and the pale perfection of his pale skin, Kitty follows Damian from stained-glass halls to the blacked-out windows of his sprawling estate. Every invitation feels like a test: a candlelit dinner, hushed whispers in an empty corridor, a chilling warning that the night holds dangers more real than high-school gossip. As Kitty races down moonlit sidewalks haunted by red-eyed strangers and crushing violence, she must decide whether Damian is the predator-or her only chance at survival. In a town where roses defiantly bloom without rain, some mysteries refuse to wither-and falling in love may be her greatest risk of all.
