Gothic Romance • Dark Romantic Thriller • Psychological Suspense

Book Description

In the rain-soaked city of Oakhaven, the dead are often treated with more kindness than the living.

Aurelisse Vale spends her days beneath the flickering lights of her family’s funeral home, restoring beauty to those destroyed by violence. Quiet, meticulous, and untouched by the chaos of the world outside, she has built her life among the dead—where silence feels safer than love.

But when a brutal docks foreman is found murdered with impossible surgical precision, whispers begin to spread through the city. Someone is hunting monsters in the dark.

Then he appears.

A towering stranger cloaked in rain and shadow watches Aurelisse from the back pew of the chapel with unnerving devotion. He leaves behind a silver sewing needle, black roses with their thorns carefully removed, and a hand-stitched silk dress tailored perfectly to her body—as though he knows her intimately without ever touching her.

As bodies continue to surface across Oakhaven, Aurelisse becomes trapped in a dangerous dance between fear and fascination. The deeper she falls into the mystery surrounding the silent killer, the more she realizes his violence is not random.

It is worship.

And she may be the reason he started killing at all.

Flowers for the Dead is a haunting gothic romance filled with funeral halls, candlelit obsession, elegant violence, and a love story blooming in the shadows of death.
