When Roses Fade To Black

Rosie's life has always been quiet, mostly spent flying under the radar. That is, until Jake Russell, starts paying attention to her. It all began when she helped him with a math test, but now, even three months later, Jake is buying her blueberry muffins, standing up for her against bullies, and watching her with an intensity that makes her heart race. Rosie can't help but wonder, why?
Jake has never been the type to get involved with anyone. His past is full of shadows, and he's learned to keep his distance. But something about Rosie keeps pulling him in-her quiet strength, her wit, and the way she makes him feel like he's more than just the guy everyone fears. As their bond deepens, they both start facing things they've been running from, unsure of where this connection will lead.
Through unexpected moments and unspoken feelings, Rosie and Jake begin to realize that even in darkness, they can find a light-if only they can learn to trust it.
