What happens when you discover that the shadows don’t hide the monsters you should fear, but the ones who will save you?

Kissed by Shadows

(Book 1)

What happens when you discover that the shadows don’t hide the monsters you should fear, but the ones who will save you?

I come home to discover the ultimate act of betrayal by the one person who was meant to love and protect me. My father sold me to the Russian Bratva, in exchange for a debt he could not pay, his apology a text message as he fled the country.

Enter Nikolai Petrov, tall, dark and handsome, the Bratva leader’s son, and my childhood crush. Also the man who has won me, who has paid the price for me in blood and expects a return in kind.

But even he can’t keep me safe from his ruthless father, so once again my life is turned upside down as I am given to The Shadowmen, a notorious West London gang.

Hunter Anderson, their gorgeous leader, a hard man with swirling green eyes and a fierce need to protect those in his care, no matter the cost.

The Kent twins, Hunter’s seconds, Roman and Rowan, one full of light, the other shrouded in darkness. Both irresistible and desperate to have something that truly belongs to them.

We have a past, they owe me a debt, but as with everything it seems a price must be paid. My freedom in exchange for my safety. My body in exchange for their protection.

But are they strong enough to stand against the might of the Russian mafia? Or is it only a matter of time before Sergi Petrov—Nikolai’s father and the man my father sold me to—comes for me. Because he wants what he believes belongs to him… he wants me.

Kissed by Shadows is book 1 of a dark romance trilogy where our leading lady won't have to choose, but be warned, the path to true love is not a smooth one so be prepared for heartache along the way and to wait for your HEA.

Available in hardback, paperback, eBook, and Kindle Unlimited!

In true Rosa Lee fashion that I’ve come to love in all my dark in twisty ways, she leaves you wanting more of the pain so you can find the beauty in the deepest corners of the dark...
— Bookbub Review
Rosa Lee’s Claimed by Shadows is a scorching dark romance that grips you by the heart and refuses to let go. Sergi Petrov is a villain you’ll love to hate, and our heroine’s resilience in his clutches will leave you breathless.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. This book tore my heart apart but slowly pieced itself back together…. And then that cliffhanger just ripped it right out.

Claimed by Shadows

(Book 2)

When the Shadows set you free…will you let them claim you?

My worst nightmare has come true. Sergi Petrov, the man my father sold me to, has me in his grip again. This time, even my Shadows aren’t strong enough to fight his obsession.

I endure every night in his mansion—twenty-one days of his attention, his delusion—submitting so my men, my soulmates, can live free. I will suffer anything to ensure their safety.

Every night, my will to survive is tested, with only Nikolai, Sergi’s own son, helping me resist the darkness his father creates inside me.

My Shadows refuse to give up, using all of their underworld resources to help bring me home.

But will it be enough to finally break the hold Sergi has on me?

Or am I already bound to him in a way neither of us saw coming, a part of his darkness growing inside me, inescapable and inevitable?

And can my men accept me now that I have been so tainted?

  • “Rosa Lee… wow, you had me trembling at the dedication alone. What a way to draw me in and boy, did you follow through?! You showed me the best damn time of my life; gaining a couple of new k!nks along the way.”

    — BookBub review of Kissed by Shadows

  • “The Shadowmen are the perfect shade of morally grey. I might have a new favorite from Rosa Lee. I have been anticipating this book for months since the author is a master of edging. It more than lived up to the hype. I didn't want to put it down, but I also didn't want it to be over too quickly.”

    — BookBub review of Kissed by Shadows

  • “What a story...I have been patiently waiting for the next series by Rosa. She is the Queen of dark, reverse harem and OMG the steam in this blew me away!!!! This book had me on the edge of my seat one minute and laughing out loud the next. I love the characters so much!!! It was so addictive, suspenseful and dark! ”

    — BookBub review of Captured

  • This was an absolute emotional rollercoaster. Rosa Lee knows how to write a gripping and heart wrenching book that leaves you gasping for air and begging for more. Not only is the writing engaging and emotionally draining, but it is uplifting in the desire and promise that the world of the Shadowmen will be enough to heal, possess and protect the ones they love.

    Bookbub Review

  • Am I ok? No. Did I Love this? Yes. Rosa knows how to rip you apart emotionally and then have you laughing a few pages later. I knew that this book would end on a cliffhanger, being the second book in a trilogy. I was still upset when it happened. Book three can not come soon enough.

    Bookbub Review

  • Wow. Just Wow. This book broke my heart, made me murderous, made me cheer and gave me so many feels!!! Rosa is a master of her craft and Claimed by the Shadows is no exception.
