Her flaws, her guilt, her secret hunger for a love that wasn’t safe or ordinary. When her carefully structured world crashes down around her, he walks away, convinced she is at fault.

Despite realizing his mistake, forgiveness might impossible for a woman who uses boundaries as a survival mechanism.

Loving Hound means surrendering to a bond that is possessive, unsettling, and addictive, the opposite of what she should want in her new life. It’s not the kind of love anyone would call normal.

It’s not supposed to work, but it might just save both of them.

This is the story of Rose, the antagonist from Bed of Roses, but can be read as a standalone.
