My fresh start is finally around the corner—but so is the man standing in the middle of the f*cking road.

He could’ve died when I hit him, and his two friends are downright furious. But instead of pressing charges, they offer me a deal: work for them for six months, and they’ll let it go.

Their secluded mountain estate is vast and beautiful. Full of stolen artifacts and dark secrets.

Atticus, Elijah, and Seven might be equally alluring, but they’re also damaged and dangerous—driven by a thirst for revenge they say I can help satisfy.

Only now that they have me, they don’t seem to want to let me go. And it’s not one-sided.

Before long, their vengeance becomes my own, and I begin to understand that even if helping them claims my life, it’s too late to turn back now.

I can’t guard a heart they’ve already stolen.

White Rose Painted Red is a dark romance full of kindle-melting chemistry and possessive, damaged men who will do whatever it takes to get the revenge they crave and keep the girl they never meant to fall for.

White Rose Painted Red is a darker story with murder and mayhem along with super spicy sexy times! Aurora hits a man on the road at night and then goes home with him and his 2 friends. Sounds totally normal, right?

Despite Aurora’s questionable choices, I really got sucked into this story! You know the guys are hiding something, but you don’t get the full story until later in the plot. Aurora has had a rough life, and the “job” the guys offer her with a pay of $15000 a month is her chance to get a new start. But then murder and mayhem begin again, and she is left wondering what she signed on for. But, its too late because she already caught feelings! So, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em right? Atticus, Eli, and Seven are all great heroes in their own ways. Eli is the more reserved one, Seven is the bat crap crazy one, and Atticus is…well he is Daddicus! This was a hot story with lots of danger to keep you flipping pages!
