Blackthorn After Dark

A Darkly Sensual Paranormal Romance of Forbidden Desire and Dangerous Magic

She never applied to Blackthorn University.

But Blackthorn has been expecting her.

Nineteen-year-old Isabella Sing arrives on a scholarship she never requested and quickly discovers that nothing about her invitation was accidental.

Not the private room.

Not the strange attention from people who seem to know more about her than they should.

And certainly not the silver crescent that appears on her wrist.

Behind Blackthorn University's gothic towers lies a world of vampires, wolf-bound guardians, witches, incubi, forbidden books and old powers that have been waiting far too long for someone like Isabella.

Some want to protect her.

Some want to claim her.

Some are not entirely sure where one ends and the other begins.

Edwin Callaghan is beautiful, controlled and dangerous enough to make restraint feel like temptation.

Jason Noir is all warmth, instinct and barely contained power, a wolf-bound guardian whose interest in Isabella may be far more personal than duty allows.

Between them waits the Vault, an ancient secret beneath Blackthorn with its own ideas about blood, desire and ownership.

Everyone thinks Isabella is the key.

They may be about to discover that she would rather be the hand on the door.

From the Author

Blackthorn After Dark began with one wicked little question: what if desire was not simply temptation, but power?

I wanted Blackthorn University to feel beautiful, secretive and slightly hungry. A place of rain-dark stone, forbidden books, vampires with excellent manners, wolf-bound guardians with dangerous instincts, witches who know too much and doors that should absolutely remain closed after midnight.

At the centre of it is Isabella Sing, who arrives looking for answers and discovers that almost everyone else already has plans for her.

This is a story about attraction, old laws, dangerous appetites and the inconvenient difference between being wanted and being owned.

Welcome to Blackthorn.

Do not answer the wardrobe after midnight.
