She never believed in fairy tales.
Helena Duarte was always too restless to fit into an ordinary life. University, routine, predictable men—none of that satisfied her. She wanted something she couldn't name. Something that burned.
And then the rose appeared.
Black as the absence of light.
Alive as if it breathed.
Upon touching it, Helena awakens an ancient curse.
He is not a prince.
He never was.
He is a creature bound by a cruel pact made with a witch who feeds on human desires. To survive, he must offer women to the darkness—seduce them, mark them… break them.
But Helena doesn't break.
She provokes.
She challenges.
She desires back.
Between pursuit, tension, and a dangerous game of power and attraction, the two discover that some curses are not meant to be broken.
They are meant to be consummated.
And at midnight… the rose bleeds.
