Rose and Wicked

Rose Wickes-Barnes has a plan to establish herself as an independent woman of good standing.
Move away from Gold Sky. Join one of New York City’s most prestigious theater companies. Establish herself in society as an up-and-coming costumer with said theater company.
Thusly, she aims to enjoy the fruits of her labor just as any woman should. What she never anticipates is a scandal, paparazzi storm, and subsequent whirlwind marriage.
Rose and her new husband, the gentle, soft-spoken and earnest Samuel Walker, who selflessly put himself in harm's way to keep her safe one fateful, rainy day, are forced to flee the city and marry to keep their reputations intact. All the while, Rose suspects there is far more to her new husband than the man she’s coming dangerously close to falling in love with.
People on the streets of New York give him a wide berth, and they call him ‘Wicked Walker’. Rose has never known him to be anything but a gentleman and her protector, but she can’t help but admit she is curious to see what exactly it is that makes Walker so wicked.
