Blood & Roses: Volume 1 by Callie Hart (Paperback)

A dark, high-stakes romance where danger, obsession and trust collide in a violent underworld where nothing comes without a cost.

Zeth Mayfair is one of Seattle’s most feared men, operating deep within a world of crime, violence and power. He follows orders without question, moving through assignments involving drugs, weapons and money with cold precision. His life is controlled, detached and built around survival in a world that leaves little room for hesitation.

Sloane Romera lives on the opposite side of that world. A trauma doctor, she is driven by logic, urgency and the need to save lives. But her carefully structured existence is shattered when her sister goes missing, pulled into the same dangerous underworld Sloane has always kept at a distance.

Desperate for answers, she is forced to step into unfamiliar territory where information is tightly controlled and every lead comes at a price. The only person who appears capable of helping her is Zeth, a man who represents everything she should avoid but cannot ignore.

What begins as a reluctant alliance quickly becomes something far more dangerous. As their paths intertwine, Sloane is pulled deeper into a world of corruption, violence and hidden agendas, while Zeth finds himself facing emotions he has spent his life suppressing.

In a place where morality is blurred and survival depends on trust that cannot be given lightly, both are forced to decide how far they are willing to go for answers, and what they are prepared to lose in the process.

This collection brings together the first three instalments of the Blood & Roses series, delivering a dark romance filled with tension, emotional conflict and escalating stakes.

Perfect for readers who enjoy dark romance, anti-hero love stories, forced proximity, morally complex characters and high-intensity emotional relationships.
