Description：
Rose Hartley once believed in forever. Then her father died, her first love's mother killed herself, and the boy who swore to protect her—Aiden Vance—became the cruelest hand in a school full of cruelty.
Taken into the Vance dynasty as a stepdaughter no one wanted, Rose endures the unthinkable in silence. Until the day she overhears a phone call that reveals the truth: her father's death was no accident, and the people who destroyed her have been hiding far worse.
Armed with proof, ice in her veins, and a patience that terrifies, Rose begins to turn her tormentors against one another—and to plant, in the wreckage of the boy who broke her, a seed of hatred aimed at the man who started it all.
Some roses learn to grow their own thorns.
A haunting story of survival, vengeance, and the cost of letting go.
