Dahlia is a Lace Girl. Her role is the first mental health initiative of The Trade, successfully halving depression in The Cradle.
Accompany. Relieve. Soothe.
That is her Meaningful Purpose.
She is content and protected until her life changes forever when her best friend dies giving birth, leaving her caught in a civil war with two things:
A baby who belongs to the regime and the name of a man who can help them escape.
Lagos the Rogue is a seven-foot-one, grumpy brute who grunts rather than speaks, kills without remorse, and finds her innocence infuriating.
But, he also guards her like a rabid dog, is inked from neck to toe, the strongest, most imposing man she has ever seen, and...
He is brutally beautiful.
She can't deny his magnetic pull until she discovers he is precisely the danger she is desperately trying to escape.

For readers who would enjoy a spicy Red Riding Hood meets Divergent, with the barren, wild backdrop of Dune by Frank Herbert. Born For Lace is a romance-driven adult sci-fi novel set in a dark dystopian society.
