Roses & Ruin

By Hazel Cross

A steamy paranormal YA romance with deadly stakes for a new generation of Twilight and Vampire Academy readers.

A year ago, Rose was in an accident that nearly claimed her life. In the chaos of that night, a mysterious boy pulled her from the brink of death, then vanished before anyone else could see him. No one believes he was there. But Rose knows the truth.

When Rose moves across the country for college, she's expecting a fresh start, one that's not haunted by the memory of this mysterious stranger. But then she sees him: Hayden. He's cold and distant and claims he wasn't there that night. Yet Rose can't shake the pull she feels toward him. She pursues him, daring him to reject her. Daring him to explain himself.

That's when she learns the truth about who--or what--Hayden really is, and that the bond between them goes deeper than the night he saved her life. Fate has woven their paths together, and no matter how hard they fight, it refuses to let them go. But loving Hayden may come at a cost . . . one that could destroy them both.
