Obsession blooms where love dies.
In the heart of Paris, behind the gilded walls of Galerie Solé, a woman reigns. She is poised, powerful, and in complete control—until a former lover resurfaces, and a mysterious new intern steps into her world, both bearing secrets too intimate to ignore.
As passion ignites and surveillance tightens, hidden forces move beneath the surface: betrayals cloaked in silk, truths whispered through code, and a presence in red that should not exist. What begins as seduction spirals into a war of masks, memory, and legacy.
Between the twin flames of love and vengeance, only one truth remains: Every rose has a mirror. And not all reflections survive.
For readers of Jacqueline Carey, Gillian Flynn, and Silvia Moreno-García, Twin Roses is a dark, sensual, and psychologically charged debut about the women who don’t just survive power—they become it.
"A seductive blend of erotica and thriller suspense." ~Goodreads Review
