Some storms break us. Some storms build us. This one will do both.
Arden Rivers wasn’t supposed to look back.
Desperate to escape the weight of her past—and the stalker who refuses to let her go—she seizes a chance to start over. But before she can outrun the shadows, she crosses paths with Gideon Blackwell, a man who carries his own buried scars and a legacy steeped in secrets.
Bound by loyalty, haunted by silence, and shaped by a family empire built on power, Gideon has spent years protecting himself from entanglements. Arden’s fire unsettles that. And for the first time, distance feels like its own kind of danger.
As old threats resurface and trust begins to crack open, the two are drawn together in a slow-burning bond neither expected. But in a city built on deception—and a past that refuses to stay buried—love might be the most dangerous risk of all.
The Storm and the Rose is a lyrical, emotionally charged novel about survival, legacy, and the fragile beauty of trust. For readers who crave slow-burn intimacy, atmospheric tension, and characters who feel like secrets waiting to be understood.
