Storm and Shadow Duology

Obsession leaves marks deeper than any wound. Arden Rivers has rebuilt her life brick by fragile brick, determined not to be defined by the shadows of her past. But when roses begin to appear at her door-perfect, blood-red, deliberate-so do the notes. Intimate. Intrusive. Written by someone who knows her too well. Each gift is beautiful. Each gift is a threat. The stalker who calls himself her admirer isn't the only man watching. Gideon Blackwell, heir to a powerful legacy, is as relentless as he is protective. Calculated where others are reckless, he offers her safety-but at a cost: letting him past the walls she's built. Torn between the protector who sees her strength and the predator who worships her fire, Arden must decide which man holds the greater danger. Because obsession doesn't always hide in shadows-sometimes it comes wrapped in devotion. In this slow-burn romantic suspense, passion and peril entwine. Love may be her refuge-or the deadliest trap of all. For readers who love closure: The Storm and the Rose ends on a cliffhanger, but The Rose and the Shadows concludes the story with the hard-won, deeply earned HEA every modern gothic romance deserves.
