Healing doesn't make you immune to danger. It just changes how danger looks.

After reclaiming her power, exposing lies, and learning the true cost of trust, Liyah stands at the strongest point of her life. Her name carries weight. Her business commands respect. Her boundaries are no longer suggestions. From the outside, it looks like she's finally safe.

But safety has a blind spot.

In Roses, Over Red Flags, Liyah confronts a quieter, more seductive threat-the kind that doesn't yell, doesn't control outright, and doesn't look anything like the men who hurt her before. This time, the danger arrives wrapped in emotional intelligence, patience, and all the right language. It listens. It affirms. It waits.

As a new romance blooms, everyone around Liyah sees green flags. Friends approve. The connection feels easy. Healthy. Earned. But beneath the softness, something doesn't sit right. Boundaries are tested gently. Discomfort is reframed as trauma. Control hides behind care.

While Liyah navigates the fallout from public exposure and the shifting dynamics of power, she must face a terrifying truth: healing doesn't fail you-but denial can. Choosing roses over red flags doesn't mean you're weak. It means you wanted to believe beauty could equal safety.

This is a story about manipulation without cruelty, love without violence, and how easily growth can be exploited by someone who knows the language of healing but not the work. Roses, Over Red Flags asks the hardest question yet:

What happens when the danger feels good?
