Withered Rose

BOOK ONE in the WITHERED ROSE TRILOGY
Christian Romantic Suspense Series
What happens when a Christian woman and a mafia boss fall in love? Their passion breeds chaos.
Rosa and Amory have no business getting involved with one another but they also have no choice. Rosa is Amory's captive bride, kidnapped and forced to marry him as payment for her brother's debt. All she wants is to live a life free of crime and violence but now she's shackled to the most dangerous man in New York City. Only God can help her now.
Meanwhile, Amory is looking forward to having a beautiful young bride. But Amory is a mafia underboss and Rosa is a Christian woman. Her faith is standing right between them, and he hates that. The sting of her refusal to marry him runs deep. But something in Amory feels drawn to Rosa, despite their differences.
Maybe she is the calm to his storm, maybe he is the chaos she secretly craves. Whatever the case, they're in it together.
