Shades of Rose

By Adam Gaffen

Some loves change you. Others cost you everything.

Kendra Foster-Briggs has always been too much-too bold, too brash, too unwilling to play by anyone's rules. But when her rising sensie empire crashes under mob debts and backroom deals, she's given a choice: disappear, or serve. OutLook, the covert agency pulling the strings, wants her skills. Her body. Her loyalty.

Then Rose Emmons walks into training, brilliant, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. What begins as heat turns to something far deeper as Kendra and Rose navigate a brutal world of espionage, manipulation, and impossible missions. Together, they build a future on fragile ground until a betrayal shatters everything.

This is the story the Federation erased, of the woman Kendra loved before Aiyana. Of the war she fought before Artemis. And the impossible truth behind her greatest loss.

Shades of Rose is a raw, heart-wrenching love story told in Kendra's own words: explicit, unsparing, and defiant. A fusion of queer romance, dystopian noir, and emotional suspense, this duology spans sex and violence, courage and collapse, and the cost of love ina world that commodifies everything.

It's not a romance.

It's a love story.

And there's a difference.
