Rosebud's Second Chance
Read the storyRose LaRue, a soap maker, moved back home to Bozeman, MT after her abusive husband caused the accident that nearly killed her and left him dead. Jake “Bear” Cooper, a successful rancher, is the love of life and still loves her. He still has the engagement ring, a rose gold band with a 3-carat Montana sapphire, he’d planned to give her. It was his granny’s. Her mother,a narcissist and forced her into a loveless marriage, for her own financial gain.. She has freckles spattered across her nose and shoulders and dimples. She added rose gold pink highlights to her long curly hair as an act of independence. Her eyes are deep green. Her sister, Maggie, a tattoo artist, is highly loyal to her and her dreams, but wants her to take a chance with Bear again.. She owns her soap shop, ‘The Soaperie.’ She has several tattoos, a bumblebee in flight on her right forearm. It represents resiliency. A red, blooming rose on her inside right wrist, and a purple and turquoise butterfly on her ribs. The purple is for surviving domestic violence and the turquoise for surviving sexual assault. The last one, on her left inside wrist, is a bear paw, holding a rosebud, he sees it the first night they see each other in 15 years. Rosebud is her nickname from Bear. Her shop, ‘The Soaperie’, is very popular and she makes a decent living. She has a belly button piercing, dangling ‘B’ pendant. Jake is the oldest of 5 siblings, all present in this story and is dominant by nature, especially with Rose in bed. She loves submitting to him.
