Petals on Knife

"She looked at me like she could hear my thoughts.
And fuck me-she was right."
She's a therapist with secrets buried beneath rose petals.
She's a detective with fists and fury, court-ordered into therapy.
They should've been enemies.
But now?
They're everything dangerous you should never touch.
Dr. Emilia Oklay listens to pain for a living-smiling politely while hiding black-stained gloves and a drawer full of names marked for death.
She doesn't flinch at blood.
She makes it beautiful.
Detective Lila Monroe breaks everything she touches-rules, bones, hearts.
Anger lives in her fists. Lust lives in her spine.
And when she walks into Emilia's office, she expects a lecture.
Not a woman who looks at her like she wants to be ruined.
"Her voice was silk. Her eyes said sin.
And I? I wanted to make her beg."
But as bodies keep showing up-throats slit, petals blooming like bruises-Lila is assigned to the Petal Killer case.
And the woman who makes her lose sleep?
Might just be the one behind the murders.
"You want to be saved?"
"No, Doctor. I want to be broken. By you."
"She said love was soft.
I said love should bleed."
18+ dark sapphic romance.

Stay for the chaos.
Fall for the killer.
