The Blood Rose Pact

In the glittering salons and shadowed corridors of Paris, Juliette Moreau is more than she seems. A courtesan by reputation, a spy by necessity, and a woman with a past buried so deep that even she dares not unearth it. But when a blood-red rose appears at the doorstep of the Saint-Clair estate-its petals a silent warning-Juliette knows that the past is no longer content to remain buried.Gabriel de Saint-Clair is a man defined by restraint, by power wrapped in cold calculation. When his reckless younger brother is found dead at a masquerade, a rose clutched in his stiffening fingers, Gabriel has only one suspect-the woman who was last seen with him. But Juliette is no easy target, and as their paths intertwine, suspicion turns to something far more dangerous.The rose is not merely a flower. It is a signature. A symbol of a past alliance, a warning of unfinished business, and a message from a ghost long thought dead. As Juliette and Gabriel chase the truth through the hidden underworld of Paris, secrets unravel-secrets that could bring down the most powerful families in the city, or consume them both in the process.But trust is a blade with two edges, and as deception layers upon deception, one thing becomes clear:The Blood Rose Pact was never meant to be broken.And those who dare to try will pay in blood.
