But when a blood-red rose appears at the doorstep of the Saint-Clair estate-its petals a silent warning-Juliette knows that the past is no longer content to remain buried.</p><p>Gabriel de Saint-Clair is a man defined by restraint by power wrapped in cold calculation. When his reckless younger brother is found dead at a masquerade a rose clutched in his stiffening fingers Gabriel has only one suspect-the woman who was last seen with him. But Juliette is no easy target and as their paths intertwine suspicion turns to something far more dangerous.</p><p>The rose is not merely a flower. It is a signature. A symbol of a past alliance a warning of unfinished business and a message from a ghost long thought dead. As Juliette and Gabriel chase the truth through the hidden underworld of Paris secrets unravel-secrets that could bring down the most powerful families in the city or consume them both in the process.</p><p>But trust is a blade with two edges and as deception layers upon deception one thing becomes clear:</p><p>The Blood Rose Pact was never meant to be broken.</p><p>And those who dare to try will pay in blood.</p>
