A Thorny Past

<p><strong>Crow Hollander left behind a past full of thorns...or so she thought.</strong><br>After getting out of jail she was assured that the opportunity for a new life lay before her. But each night in her tiny apartment the longed-for freedom feels more like house arrest in which she only finds loneliness and closed doors. Nobody wants to hire an ex-con.<br>And everything becomes much more confusing when her signature black rose appears next to a corpse.<br>She immediately becomes the prime suspect in a crime she didn't commit and will be forced to get into the twisted mind of a dangerous serial killer to prove her innocence.<br>Although maybe the greatest danger is starting to feel something for the detective who has sworn to lock her up forever.<br>Because the line separating passion from madness is as thin as the sharp thorns on a rose.</p>
