Poison Roses

by Jaymin Eve, Tate James

Book 1 in Boys of Bellerose

Poison Roses is for the dark-romance mood where every man in the room is a bad idea and the heroine has already survived worse than their worst behavior. It is sharp, messy, and built to make you reach for book two the second the cliff drops.
