RAZOR AND ROSE
A Dark Romance Novel
He was trained to kill without hesitation.
She was trained to make pain look like grace.
Declan Vance is a weapon-precise, disciplined, and owned by a violent world that doesn't tolerate mistakes. When a job goes wrong, mercy is not an option. Except once. And it costs him everything.
Talia Rose lives for control of a different kind. On stage, she is elegance and discipline, beauty sharpened by years of sacrifice. Offstage, she's invisible-until one night places her in the path of a man who should have erased her without a second thought.
He is leather and gunmetal.
She is silk and bone.
Bound together by bloodshed and necessity, Declan and Talia are forced into a dangerous proximity neither of them can afford. What begins as survival turns into something darker-an obsession forged under pressure, where every choice carries a price.
Declan knows exactly what he is capable of.
What terrifies him is how quickly she learns.
Razor and Rose is a slow-burn dark romance about power, restraint, and the moment grace stops being fragile. This is not a story about being saved-it's about what happens when the wolf spares the swan... and discovers she has teeth of her own.
