Roses & Thorns Series by Christina C. Jones

As a rose abandoned in the desert, she's made a vow - she'll never go back to the way things were... a promise that was easier to keep before a thorn showed up.(This is not a book centered around a love story.)

Broken.A word typically ascribed to fragmented, useless things – not people.A word most would easily impose upon a woman like Dacia, knowing she’s been through the kind of things that are meant to leave a person fragmented.A word that comes with pre-conceived notions, judgements… limitations.None of which she embraces, or accepts.Because what if putting the pieces back together is the very thing that makes her stronger?
