Julian's Rose: A Billionaire Dark Contemporary Romance in Bloomington, MN

From San Diego's rising star author, Lucie Benton, comes a passion-filled, angst-ridden series that captivates with its intensity. At its heart is the story of a young editor who finds herself drawn into the enigmatic and dangerous world of a dark billionaire.
Lucie's life has been a series of heartbreaks. Losing her mom at a young age and being disowned by her father left her with emotional scars she's never truly healed from. When her long-time boyfriend James shatters her heart, it feels like the final blow.
Yet, one thing has always kept her afloat: her love for writing. That dedication pays off when she lands a coveted opportunity to work under Amanda Hart-a legend in the publishing world. With her life packed into a few boxes, Lucie moves to San Diego, ready to face the challenges of a demanding new job.
Little does she know, her new beginning will lead her into a world far darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined-and straight into the arms of a man who could either save her or destroy her completely.
