Blackthorn

A brand-new, never-before-released dark romance by USA Today bestselling author J. T. Geissinger is a tautly written, deliciously gothic tale of a prodigal daughter returning home to family secrets--and the man she could never forget.

Twelve years ago, Maven "May" Blackthorn fled her hometown of Solstice, Vermont, leaving the whispers of "witch" behind, and reinvented herself in New York City. Now, Maven and her daughter, Bea are back for her grandmother's funeral. However, things take a turn for the worse when her grandmother's body goes missing, and the Blackthorns immediately suspect the obscenely wealthy Crofts, scions of the Croft Pharmaceutical dynasty, with whom they have had a lifelong and rather bloodthirsty feud. To make matters even more complicated, Maven comes face-to-face with her lost love: Oliver Croft, Oliver Croft, the son of her mother's suspected murderer, and unbeknownst to anyone but Maven herself, Bea's father.

Scorching, shocking family secrets that almost everyone wants to keep hidden are threatening to come out into the open on both sides as they all race to find answers. And each secret is more explosive than the last.
