One Cursed Rose (Grimm Bargains Book 1)

Alana, heir to Aquarius Social, a major media company, faces an arranged marriage to secure her family's future. With only a week to prevent the wedding, she is attacked and rescued by Thorn Beathach, the ruthless head of a rival social media empire that is driving Aquarius toward collapse. Thorn operates under a strict rule: no one sees his face. When he reveals himself to Alana, she understands he will never release her. Thorn confines Alana to his secured estate, expecting a compliant captive. However, Alana is not the passive figure he anticipated. As their dynamic unfolds, the question becomes who will ultimately hold power over whom. This is the first book in the Grimm Bargains series, a dark romance set in a dystopian world where information control determines power and status.
