Dead Flowers in Manhattan
By Mary Elizabeth Baker
She left the wide skies of Colorado for a dream job in New York City’s glamorous fashion world—bright lights, bold designs, and a future full of promise.
What she never expected... was to fall for a man who would nearly take it all away.
When Elena Matthews meets the enigmatic Dr. Damien Cole, their chemistry is undeniable. He’s brilliant. Mysterious. Generous with flowers and affection—but strangely cold beneath the surface. As their passionate romance heats up, so does fear across the city. A serial killer is targeting young women, leaving no trace behind—except for dead flower petals.
The clues are chilling. The timing, too perfect. And when Elena begins to suspect the man in her bed might be the monster in the headlines, the truth becomes a race for her life.
She thought she was living a love story.
She didn’t realize she was the final chapter in a killer’s tale.
A riveting psychological thriller about survival, obsession, and reclaiming your power—Dead Flowers in Manhattan will keep you breathless until the very last petal falls.
