A relentless hacker.

A brooding billionaire.

The Wolves, who will do anything to stop them.

Brendan East, the only surviving heir to the Prince Enterprises fortune, has lived in self-imposed isolation at The Castle for a decade. When he discovers that a notorious crime syndicate orchestrated the helicopter crash that killed his family and left him scarred, the last thing he expects to feel is relief. That relief is short-lived when brilliant and beautiful hacker, Isabella Reese, arrives at The Castle and sets his life ablaze.

Pursued by the syndicate’s lieutenants, the Wolves, for discovering their connection to Brendan’s family, Isabella hides at The Castle while using every skill she has to evade them.

Even as ten years of twisted secrets unravel and The Wolves close in, Isabella is unable to ignore her growing feelings for the enigmatic billionaire watching her from the shadows.

Past heartbreak and present danger collide as Isabella and Brendan grapple with a love that could be their salvation...or their ruin.

The Rose Enigma is the first in a four-book series of interconnected standalones. Set in Johannesburg, South Africa, this contemporary Beauty and the Beast retelling is perfect for lovers of romantic suspense, fast-paced banter, and found family.
