The Shadows and Roses Duet

In the heart of New Orleans, Scarlett's once-ordinary life takes a twist with the arrival of Tristan, a powerful and enigmatic vampire who's as ancient as he is irresistible. Suddenly, her world isn't just quiet—it's electrifyingly supernatural.

Tristan insists Scarlett is his eternal soulmate and destined bride. Sounds romantic, right? Not for Scarlett. She's not buying into the whole dark and mysterious vampire thing. She's determined to keep her life normal, and Tristan is not part of the plan.

Yet fate has other ideas. The unbreakable bond between them is more than just intense—it's downright excruciating when they're apart. Thrust into the hidden world of vampires, Scarlett is stunned to learn the truth: Tristan is the ruthless, dangerously seductive Vampire Governor.

Their connection is raw, primal, and impossible to resist. Every encounter is a clash of desire and defiance, of heated kisses and sharp words.

Things spiral deeper when Tristan's shadowed past resurfaces—and with it, the chilling truth about Scarlett's parents' death. As secrets unravel, so does her trust. When she discovers Tristan kept it all from her, the fragile thread holding them together snaps.

Just as she's desperate to escape his possessive hold, another threat emerges—Tristan's twisted brother. Darker. Crueler. And dangerously obsessed. Now Scarlett finds herself caught between two powerful predators, each with their own claim on her heart... and her blood.

As Scarlett's humanity starts to slip away and her world becomes infused with the supernatural, she's left wondering if her feelings for Tristan might change. Can a vampire governor, notorious for his icy exterior, ever let love thaw his heart? The secrets of their tangled past could spell disaster, or maybe they'll find a way to rewrite their history together.

It's a wild ride of supernatural lust, ancient mysteries, and the quest for a future that's anything but ordinary.

¨Every step I took was watched by a vampire, hidden among the shadows, waiting for me. What I knew ceased to make sense; what I used to be no longer mattered. It was and would be his will always.

Or at least, that's what he thought.¨
