In the hills above Kingston, where the city lights glitter like promises and lies travel faster than the wind, Nyah Sinclair is known for her beauty, ambition, and silence. She owns Red Rose, a luxury floral boutique that supplies the island's most powerful people-politicians, businessmen, entertainers, and criminals alike.
But Nyah's roses aren't just symbols of love.
They are messages.
Warnings.
Goodbyes.
Years ago, Nyah fled Spanish Town, leaving behind a violent past and a man she loved too deeply-Malik Grant. Malik was charming, dangerous, and already entangled in Kingston's underground world. When blood was spilled the night Nyah disappeared, everyone believed Malik was responsible.
Everyone except Nyah.
Now Malik is back-richer, colder, and wrapped in shadows. He runs an empire no one speaks about out loud. When Nyah begins receiving black-wrapped roses-the same kind Malik once sent her-she knows the past has finally found her.
As their paths cross again, old passion reignites, but so do old secrets. Nyah knows something about that night years ago that could destroy Malik... or save him. What she doesn't know is that someone else has been watching her, using her business to track movements, betrayals, and deaths hidden behind romantic gestures.
In Jamaica, love is never simple.
Trust is deadly.
And secrets? They always bloom in the dark.
When loyalty is tested and bodies begin to fall, Nyah must decide:
Will she protect the man she loves...
or expose the truth that could burn Kingston to the ground?
Because in a world of red roses and black secrets, love can be the most dangerous thing of all. 🌹🖤
