He is the ruthless Beast destroying her family’s empire—and after saving her life, he has no intention of letting her go.

Alana Beaumont is the sole heir to Aquarius Social, a powerful media company being dismantled by an unseen enemy. Her father’s solution is to arrange her marriage to the son of a competing family, but Alana refuses to surrender her future without a fight. She has one week to uncover the truth, protect her legacy, and change her fate.

Then an assassination attempt puts her directly in the path of Thorn Beathach—the mysterious billionaire behind the rival social-media empire threatening everything she loves. Known as the Beast, Thorn is rich, ruthless, dangerously possessive, and protected by one unbreakable rule: no one is allowed to see his face.

But Thorn reveals himself to Alana, rescues her, and takes her to his secluded estate, convinced it is the only place she’ll be safe. He may expect to keep his Beauty locked inside his castle, but Alana is no innocent captive—and if the Beast wants to play with restraints, she is more than willing to show him who might really end up under the other’s control.

Readers love One Cursed Rose for its wildly original blend of dark romance, modern technology, gemstone-based magic, mystery, danger, and a fiercely seductive battle of wills.

What is a Rescued Book?

A Rescued Book is a previously loved book that still has plenty of story left to give. It may show signs of its past life—like cover wear, bent corners, creases, markings, or other imperfections—but it’s still ready to be read and loved again.

What kind of wear or damage should I expect?

Every rescued book is different! You may find scuffs, creases, worn edges, stickers, writing, or other signs of previous ownership. Some may have only minor cosmetic flaws, while others are a little more well-loved. The imperfections are part of their story.

Why choose a Rescued Book instead of buying new?

Because great stories deserve another chapter! Rescued Books are a budget-friendly way to discover your next read while giving a perfectly readable book a new home. Plus, there’s something special about knowing your book has already been part of someone else’s reading journey—and now it gets to be part of yours.
