Roses are Red. Blood is Too.

Kevin has always been in control of his business, his emotions, and the people around him. But when he’s attacked in his own office, the sight of blood triggers something deeper than fear. It brings back painful memories he’s spent years trying to forget.

Only Sharon knows the truth about his weakness. She’s the one person he trusts to protect him. But this time, even she might not be able to help.

As secrets rise and old wounds reopen, Kevin must face the past he’s buried—and the danger that’s closing in. Roses Are Red, Blood Is Too is a gripping story about power, pain, and the colour that threatens to expose it all.

Author Bio

Denise is a proud Cape Coloured woman whose stories echo the strength, vulnerability, and survival woven into her own life. As a mother, mentor, and resilient soul, she writes from the heart—drawing on personal trials, cultural heritage, and the daily dance between fear and control. Her fiction is emotionally charged and unapologetically bold, inviting readers to journey with characters who rise, just as she has. That sense of anticipation matters deeply to her. It means the story resonated. It means they’re ready for the next chapter, the next book, the next journey.
