Blood & Roses

Blood & Roses
by Abigail Archer

Rieka knew sacrifice. But nothing could prepare her for the price of her father's mistake.

When she's torn from her home and thrust into the hands of a man known only by his reputation-a ghost in the criminal world-she expects death. Instead, she finds herself caged by Drystan, a man carved from vengeance, raised in blood, and dangerously calm.

He doesn't want her love. He wants her silence.
But silence can scream. And soon, fear gives way to fascination.

Trapped between loyalty to the past and the fire of a man who shouldn't feel, Rieka is forced to navigate a world where mercy is rare, violence is language, and trust can kill.

In a house ruled by secrets and shadows, love isn't salvation.
It's surrender.
