A Thorny Past

"Crow" Hollander left behind a past full of thorns...or so she thought.

After getting out of jail, she was assured that the opportunity for a new life lay before her. But each night, in her tiny apartment, the longed-for freedom feels more like house arrest in which she only finds loneliness and closed doors. Nobody wants to hire an ex-con.

And everything becomes much more confusing when her signature black rose appears next to a corpse.

She immediately becomes the prime suspect in a crime she didn't commit and will be forced to get into the twisted mind of a dangerous serial killer to prove her innocence.

Although, maybe the greatest danger is starting to feel something for the detective who has sworn to lock her up forever.

Because the line separating passion from madness is as thin as the sharp thorns on a rose.
