Killing Roses Book 2: Blood on the Petals

Valerie never plans for her private fantasies to land in the hands of a smug detective with abs built for daydreams. One teasing smirk later, her secret stash of scandalous books is the talk of her new housemate—the very same cop now assigned to protect her after a serial killer sets their sights on her.

He’s infuriating, magnetic, and maddeningly close, the kind of man who can turn a blush into a wildfire. But danger presses in beyond their banter-filled walls, pulling them into a deadly dance of taunts, tension, and temptation. Between playful battles of will and the shadow of a killer closing in, Valerie’s carefully built world tilts. Dreams, nightmares, and desires collide under one roof—and she’s not sure which will break her… and which might finally set her free.
