Blood Red The Roses

FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF LGBT+ ROMANCE S. J. COLES A My Bloody Valentine story Rick feels like he's finally getting his life on track...until a dead body in his flat threatens to derail more than his new career. Things are finally looking up for Rick Bennett. He's landed a job with Swanson and Gerrard, one of the top finance firms in London and, with it, a chance to pay off his father's debts and finally make something of his life. When he's put in charge of brokering the biggest deal in the company's history, he knows he can't lose, even though his boss, Cecily Swanson, clearly wants more than just a professional relationship. When a rich, handsome stranger, Kim Bailey, introduces himself to Rick at the Swansons' New Year's Eve party, Rick is thinking he can definitely get used to rubbing elbows with the upper set. He feels everything is finally working out, despite Cecily's increasing interest that only seems to strengthen as they approach her high-profile Valentine's Day wedding. When someone is murdered in his flat, Rick is shocked but still determined to hold on to his dream. Cecily believes he's innocent and, more importantly, so does Kim. Though he's beginning to suspect that there's more to the guy than meets the eye, Kim's belief in Rick keeps him strong. As the investigation continues and Rick finds himself buried deeper in a mess of conspiracy, betrayal and intrigue, he will come to wonder whether the life he's dreamed of could ever be real.
