title: The Silver Rose
author: O'Sullivan, Rowena May
description: Four hundred years ago, Immortal Warlock Aden Dragunis defied his elders and married a mortal without magical potential. On his first wedding anniversary he crafted his Beloved a magical silver rose which bloomed only for her. When she and his mortal children died one by one, he buried his heart with them and vowed never to love again. Sent by the Supreme Coven, Marylebone, to ensure the mortal witch Rosa Greenwood meets her fate as the Bells of Marylebone have decreed, Aden's vow begins to unravel when he discovers Rosa in possession of the silver rose. Rosa risks being consumed by her own power. She must bind her magic with her destined mate within one calendar month, or surrender her magic forever. If she fails to do either, Marylebone's Dragons will hunt her down, burn her magic from her, and she will die. Convincing Aden he is her destined mate is proving to be more difficult than she ever imagined. With time running out the only option left is to sacrifice her magic but she knows she will be a mere shell without a soul if she does. Then she learns Aden, the one who could ultimately save her, is also the one sent to kill her should she fail. Sensuality Level : Sensual
