Beautiful (Rose)

EDEN All I wanted was a fresh start in a new city... and a bartending job. I never intended to fall for the sexy, tattooed bar owner. Dark. Brooding. Emotionally unavailable. But Killian Vincent is a challenge I can't seem to walk away from. He's afraid that if I dig too deep, I won't like what I find. But he's wrong, and I'm determined to prove it. KILLIAN Love can destroy a man. Bring him to his knees. That's why I never let anyone get too close. Until Eden. When she crashes into my life, I'm ready to shoot her down. Instead, I fold like a house of cards. Feisty. Stubborn. Irresistible. She's on a mission to knock down my walls. Dig up truths better left buried. I need to convince her that walking away is the right choice... before it destroys us both. Contains mature themes.

Connor Vincent. Gifted artist. A beautiful liar with the soul of a poet. The cunning thief who stole my heart. And an addict. Once upon a time, my foolish heart believed that my love could fix him. How very wrong I was. We soared to the greatest heights and crashed to the lowest depths. Starting over wasn't possible. Yet here he was, heart in hand, asking for another chance. Only a fool would agree. But when it comes to Connor, I've always been a fool. No more secrets. No more lies. They say that truth is beauty... they're lying. Contains mature themes.

I'm the daughter of a ruthless criminal on a quest to outrun my past. He's the undercover detective I'm trying to put in my rear view. After a lifetime of being tailed by my father's bodyguards, all I want is my freedom and independence. Illegal street racing gives me the rush I crave. I live for the speed, the hint of danger, and being just on the edge of losing control. So, the last thing I need is to run into Deacon Ramsey when I'm breaking the law. Again. I don't care how hot he is or how tempted I am to kiss him. Again. We're on opposite sides of the law. A perfect storm waiting to happen. Falling for him would put us both in jeopardy. But when my past catches up to me, Deacon just might be the only one who can save me. Contains mature themes.
