The Rose Table

Aspen Holladay wakes each morning in a mansion that looks like paradise—but feels like a prison. Her wealthy husband, Rome, is adored publicly and feared privately, a man whose power and ambition hide a darkness known only behind their locked bedroom door. Every evening, The Rose Table is set with perfect arrangements from Aspen’s private greenhouse, each bloom silently marking the punishments she will endure.


When Aspen dares to hide a handwritten SOS inside one of her floral centerpieces, she risks everything: her safety, her sanity, and the lives of the two souls she loves most. What follows is a harrowing descent into psychological control, violent secrets, and the fragile hope that rescue may still be possible.
