What harm could one night of pleasure do?Cybil Bythesea is imprisoned in a marriage that ended ten years ago.

But freedom, true freedom, has been beyond her grasp.Except for her clandestine liaisons with Will.Will Chisolm is haunted by the past, the tragedy of his family's eviction from their ancestral Highland farm, then his own foolish descent into political radicalism. Even now that he's gained wealth and respectability as the manager of a set of spinning mills in Glasgow, he's burdened with more responsibility and guilt than anyone knows.But there's something about Cybil-a lightness, a kinship that, at least temporarily, makes all Will's troubles fade away.

1820 Scotland. Amidst the smoke-choked alleys of Glasgow and the untamed beauty of the Highlands, a spellbinding tale of love and rebellion unfolds. Jane Stuart has lost everything. Her betrothed, her ancestral castle, and her cherished orchard-her life's work-have all been ripped away. Now, exiled and adrift in the cold fog of Glasgow, she's numb to the weight of her grief, resigned to a desolate future shrouded in loneliness and grey. But fate has a different plan. Percy Sommerbell is a musician, a free spirit who holds nothing but disdain for his industrialist father. But when familial duty forces Percy to travel to Scotland, he's confronted with a painful truth-a truth that threatens to unravel the very fabric of his carefree existence. His family's money, the fortune that funds his hedonistic enjoyment of all life's pleasures, is generated by the suffering of children in his father's mills. In the midst of Glasgow's smoke and shadows, Percy encounters Jane, a mysterious Highland beauty whose sad eyes and luscious curves promise both distraction from his guilt and inspiration for his music. Against all reason, Jane falls under Percy's spell. But when the mills become the first spark in a violent radical insurgency, their budding connection faces a perilous trial beyond anything they could have imagined. Grounded in real historical events, Roses in Red Wax is a captivating novel of loss and the healing power of love, where duty clashes with purpose and passion blooms amidst chaos as the world catches fire. "This book is not a Kit Kat, it's an exquisite truffle from the hands of a master chocolatier. Decadent, nuanced, surprising, and unforgettable." - Heather Hallman, author of Toast of Tokyo
