Perfect for fans of dark romance, this sweeping first installment introduces a heroine whose heart may be as dangerous as her power. Born with the blood of a hell god in her veins, Helaina Ironblood has lived her life in secrecy, hidden from a realm already teetering on the edge of ruin. When tragedy shatters her family and the heir to the throne is lost, Helaina is cast into exile--her cursed power now a beacon to enemies who would see the world burn. Beyond the Ash Cliff Mountains, monsters stalk the land, and darker forces hunger for the weapon Helaina carries within her. Seized by Theodon Wrenn, the feared captain of a mysterious legion, Helaina is thrust into a war that stretches far beyond her imagining. Ruthless, commanding, and bound by secrets of his own, Theodon believes she is the key to victory. Yet the more he tries to bend her to his will, the more he is drawn to her defiance--and to the dangerous fire in her blood. Unlocking her power requires the Bone Dagger, an ancient relic that binds gods, beasts, and mortals alike, but demands a price--Helaina's mortal life. Torn between the man who would sacrifice her and the destiny she never wanted, Helaina must decide whether her curse will bring salvation ... or ruin.           ABOUT THE AUTHOR   Known as the fun mom who embraces chaos, she loves fitness, reading, and making memories with her family.

Title: No One Will Know

Author: Rebel Rose

Release Date: July 16, 2026

How far would you go if no one was watching?

I was eleven years old when violence shattered my world. The life I knew ended there.

For years, my family and I existed in a world of salt, sand, and survival. We built shelters, weathered storms that should have destroyed us, and buried the ones we couldn’t save.

One by one, I lost them all.
Until only Dane remained.

My protector.
My entire world.
A boundary I was destined to cross.

Fourteen years later, we were rescued.

The world called it a miracle, but the island had already remade us long before anyone came to bring us home.

Our rescue captures the world’s attention, and strangers become obsessed with our story. Cameras follow us wherever we go. Detectives ask questions no one should ever have to answer.

The more people look at us, the more convinced they become that there’s something wrong with the bond that carried us through fourteen years of isolation.

Maybe they’re right.

Because after everything we survived together, I don’t know where I end and Dane begins.

★★★★★ Goodreads Review - “This was my first book by Rebel Rose, but it will most definitely not be my last. I was drawn in from the very beginning and enjoyed every word of this story. It was dramatic, passionate, intense, spicy and more than I hoped for. I highly recommend it.”

★★★★★ Goodreads Review - “I loved it! It was beautiful, heart breaking, sexy, and slightly traumatizing with vibes that immediately made me think of The Blue Lagoon.”

Rebel Rose writes decadently dark romance where the line between love and obsession is always a little blurred. She prefers unhinged anti-heroes over Prince Charmings, twisted chemistry over fairy-tale fluff, and stories that bite back. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her with a coffee in hand, watching the world unfold like a scene waiting to be written.
