Twin Roses

Obsession blooms where love dies.

Twin Roses is a dark erotic thriller set in the decadent shadows of Paris's elite art world. At its center is Camellia Solé, a brilliant and enigmatic gallery director who curates not only masterpieces-but people. Elegant, poised, and emotionally ruthless, Camellia controls her world like a stage, where desire is power and secrets are currency.

But when Maris, a former lover with a dangerous past, resurfaces, and Alex, a poetic intern with a hidden agenda, enters the gallery, Camellia's carefully constructed empire begins to crack. What follows is a psychological war of lust, surveillance, betrayal, and masked identities-where every glance conceals a threat and every touch could unravel the soul.

She thought her twin sister died in a fire. She was wrong.

From beneath the ashes of a family tragedy, Dhalia Solé returns-not as a memory, but as a myth made flesh. A ghost with a face like Camellia's, she pulls strings from the shadows, manipulating hearts and allegiances to ignite a reckoning that no one sees coming.

What begins as a love triangle spirals into a dark symphony of power, obsession, and revenge.

With erotic tension, femme fatale energy, and a noir-laced narrative, Twin Roses blends psychological suspense, dark romance, and espionage intrigue into an unforgettable debut. Perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Gillian Flynn, and Laurell K. Hamilton.

Secrets unravel. Loyalties fracture. And between mirrored illusions and velvet traps-two women will decide who burns, and who blooms.

About the Author

D.J. Sumpter is an Army veteran, multidisciplinary artist, and storyteller who writes where shadows and desire collide. With a background in information technology and a lifelong passion for the arts, Sumpter brings sharp emotional intelligence and cinematic intensity to every page. Born with a reverence for music, movement, and the power of unspoken truths, Sumpter's work explores the fault lines between control and chaos, love and obsession, family and identity. Their debut novel, Twin Roses, is an erotic psychological thriller that weaves espionage, trauma, and sensuality into a tapestry of mirrored betrayals and intimate warfare. Sumpter writes to confront what's hidden-inside others and within ourselves-and believes the most dangerous stories are the ones we tell in silence. Their characters are elegant, haunted, and unapologetically complex: women who bleed power, men who fracture under beauty, and lovers who mistake longing for salvation. When not writing, D.J. Sumpter enjoys saxophone sessions, visual storytelling, and being a devoted father and husband. Based in Florida, they are passionate about uplifting independent art and building legacies that reflect both pain and resilience. This is more than fiction. It's a reckoning.
