On My Wish List (62)

On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.

Title: The Dark Rose Author: Erin Kelly Publication Date: February 2, 2012
Synopsis:
Paul was led into a life of crime by his boyhood protector, a bully named Daniel; but one night, what started as a petty theft turned into a grisly murder. Now, at nineteen, Paul must bear witness against his friend to avoid prison. Louisa's own dark secrets led her to flee a desperate infatuation gone wrong many years before. Now she spends her days steeped in history, renovating the grounds of a crumbling Elizabethan garden. But her fragile peace is shattered when she meets Paul; he's the spitting image of the one person she never thought she'd see again.

These two, scarred and solitary, begin a secret affair. Louisa starts to believe she can again find the happiness she had given up on. But neither of them can outrun his violent past.

This has been on my wish list for about a year. I read and loved Erin's first book, The Poison Tree, and was anxious to get my hands on this one too. I had won a copy, but unfortunately it never made it to me. Boo! Anyway, I'm still hoping to come across this book one way or the other. I can never seem to remember to pick up a copy while at the book store. 

What about you? What are you desperate to get your hands on this week? Leave me a link in the comments and I'll come check it out!
