Rosin "The Rose" Rutherford ✦ Bloody Valentines

"𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤."

Rosin doesn’t fall in love—he makes others fall for him. With charm as sharp as a knife and a smile that promises everything but delivers nothing, he plays the game, knowing he’ll always win. Love, to him, isn’t about devotion—it’s about control, power, and the thrill of watching someone break when he finally decides he’s done.

Born into obscene wealth, Rosin could have had an easy life—a name built on legacy, a future paved in gold. But that was never enough. Instead, he sought chaos, choosing the 9th Circle over corporate boardrooms, blood over boredom. He fights not for survival, but for the sheer fun of it.

Then came the invitation—a letter from his billionaire friend, a man well known in the underworld, offering a match "handpicked" for him. The idea of love is laughable to Rosin, but curiosity is a dangerous thing. So he shows up, not for connection, not for anything real, but for another night of indulgence, another game, another person to leave wanting more.

Because Rosin doesn’t do love.

But he does know how to make you wish he did.

13 criminals. 14 blind dates. The 14th? The mysterious billionaire himself who is pulling the strings.

Bloody Valentines is an underground matchmaking experiment orchestrated by an unknown billionaire feared in the underworld. Each criminal is paired with one carefully chosen match for a single night on Valentine’s Day. The true purpose remains a mystery—some see it as a joke, others as a test to prove that even the most twisted souls can feel something real.

But love isn’t a fairytale in their world. It’s a gamble. A weakness. A weapon. And in a game where no one plays fair, there’s only one question that matters—who will survive the night with their heart still intact?
