Bed of Roses (Bouquet of Lies Duet #1) by DV Fischer:
 
I’m afraid of death.

Working at a funeral home will do that to you. And when my parents died, that fear became impossible to ignore. I needed out. A clean break. So I ran to a forgotten little town in Utah where no one knew my name.

The rental was cheap, a so-called fixer-upper. I didn’t mind the work. But no one warned me how bad it really was—shattered windows, Pepto-pink toilets, peeling yellow wallpaper. Oh, and the bloodstains on the floor.

Or that the last tenant vanished without a trace.

They also didn’t mention the man sent to do the repairs: brooding, intense, hot… and freshly released from prison.

Bed of Roses is the first book in a dark, atmospheric romance duet where secrets rot beneath the surface and desire blooms in the unlikeliest places. Perfect for fans of Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton, The Ritual by Shantel Tessier, and twisted slow-burn romances that flirt with danger—and don’t hold back.
