Loving him could kill her, but losing him would be infinitely worse.
“I stared at the boy who was destined to kill me, and I wondered if our next kiss would be my last.”
After returning to her sleepy Catskills hometown of High Falls in the wake of a string of unsolved murders, Grace Bellerose meets the enigmatic Gabriel Bennett. Impossibly beautiful and determined to avoid Grace at all costs, Gabriel is as impenetrable as he is irresistible. His touch awakens her skin like lightning. He appears in dreams that feel dangerously real. And although he warns that getting close to him will destroy her, he seems no more capable of staying away than she is. No one has ever made Grace feel so completely seen—or so alive. As Grace is drawn deeper into Gabriel’s enchanting world of secrets, another girl is found floating in a river. But by the time she discovers just how dangerous their attraction has become, she has already fallen helplessly in love.
A seductive paranormal romance with nostalgic early-2000s vibes, The Devil and His Rose is an immersive escape perfect for anyone who remembers—or longs to experience—the overwhelming intensity of first love.
