Blackthorn: A Dark Gothic Romance

About this book

Twelve years after fleeing her hometown to escape the shadow of her mother’s suspicious death, Maven Blackthorn returns to bury her grandmother. Instead of finality, she finds a fresh nightmare: her grandmother’s body has vanished, and the long-standing blood feud between the Blackthorns and the ruthless, pharmaceutical-tycoon Crofts has reached a boiling point. Caught in the middle is Ronan Croft—the son of her mother’s suspected killer and the only man Maven has ever loved. As an explosive enemies-to-lovers romance, their reunion is fueled by a dangerous, forbidden passion that threatens to consume them both. In a town where secrets are buried as deep as the dead, Maven must navigate a treacherous landscape of betrayal and dark magic. As she digs for the truth, she realizes that Ronan is guarding secrets of his own—ones that could burn their worlds to the ground. This gothic, high-stakes tale is a masterclass in tension, featuring witty banter, shocking plot twists, and an unyielding chemistry that proves love can be the most dangerous game of all. For those who crave dark, atmospheric suspense, the mystery of Blackthorn is an unforgettable descent into a world where the past never truly stays buried.
