Since the dawn of humanity, the Roses have granted children powerful weapons and abilities-bestowed either by angels or demons. At 23, Sivana Vale wields two roses, a rare and dangerous contract that could destroy her. The Peach Rose & Purple Rose. Sivana wages a battle against crime, all while hiding her deadly secret from those who would destroy her.
In a city rife with corruption and chaos, Lucian Graves, a sadistic mastermind with a multi-colored rose, seeks to shatter the fragile balance. As the true power behind the criminal underworld, he becomes Sivana's greatest threat.
But Sivana is not alone. Cain Darkwood, a dangerous and loyal killer, stands by her side. Together, they forge a forbidden bond, their love blossoming in the darkness as they walk a path where their very existence could lead to their downfall. As Cain pushes forward on his dark journey, Sivana must confront the cost of her power and whether she can control the roses before they control her. Can she stop Lucian Graves? Will she end the crime plaguing her city? And can the love she shares with Cain survive the perilous road ahead?

He inspected Scarlet's cold eyes with full concentration, and after a few seconds, he finally responded when he moved away from her. "Auburn." ♢♦♢ Scarlet. She was a nightmare brought to life.

Scarlet purposely left harmless traces behind with every kill, which served as a reminder to everyone that she still lurked in the shadows. But on one occasion, a dark-haired man with even darker eyes left a trace on her heart. 18+Complete

THE APPLE OF SNAKES
❝poisonous fangs can only reap poisonous fruit.❞ Nerluce - named for light - dwells in darkness.

Nyra is the last of an ancient bloodline of time wielders, hunted not just by Kael, but by something far darker. As she races to find the corrupt hunter helping the monster who destroyed her family, she finds herself caught between two threats - the one who wants to kill her, and the one who haunts her dreams.

She's everything he's been taught to hate - and everything he can't help but want. But some monsters are worse than others, and as ancient enemies close in, they'll learn that the real horror isn't in what they are... But in who they trust.Complete
