Girl in the Attic: Ashes and Rose Petals Book 1

Trapped in her father's sprawling mansion, Ella Sinders hides away in the attic, designing graphics while her stepmother's cruelty keeps her isolated from the world. A chance phone call shatters her carefully constructed prison of lies, revealing truths that shake her to her core. On the other end of that fateful connection is Rome Verona, a man determined to forge his own path in Los Angeles's cutthroat entertainment industry, free from his powerful producer father's shadow.

Their instant connection ignites a dangerous flame—until Ella discovers Rome's identity. He's the son of her father's greatest rival, a fact that threatens to tear apart everything either of them holds dear. Bound by family feuds and corporate warfare, Ella and Rome must choose between loyalty to blood and devotion to their hearts.

Drawing inspiration from timeless tales of star-crossed lovers, this contemporary romance weaves together the resilience of Cinderella with the tragic passion of Romeo and Juliet. As obstacles multiply and secrets unravel, can Ella and Rome defy fate itself to build a future together? Packed with emotional intensity, shocking revelations, and high-stakes drama, Ashes and Rose Petals explores what happens when love collides with duty in a world where nothing is as it seems.
