You never forget your first love. Especially when he’s also your worst nightmare.

Twelve years ago, Maven Blackthorn fled her small hometown, leaving behind the wreckage of her mother’s suspicious death. But now, back for her grandmother’s funeral, Maven returns to Blackthorn, only to discover: her grandmother’s body has vanished.

The Blackthorns suspect the Crofts—the ruthless titans of Croft Pharmaceuticals—their rivals in a generations-old blood feud. But when Maven comes face-to-face with Ronan Croft, the son of her mother’s suspected killer and the only man she ever loved, she realizes their forbidden passion is still alive...and more dangerous than ever. He's the one man she should despise...and the one she still can't forget.

As long-buried family secrets claw their way to the surface, betrayal clings like soil from the grave, and old vendettas ignite anew. The deeper Maven digs for answers, the more treacherous the bargain becomes—and Ronan is hiding a truth that could burn everything down, including what still binds them together.

Blackthorn is a page-turning gothic romance with darker themes and scenes that may not be suitable for everyone. Please see the author's content note at the beginning of the book.
