At elite Sorrowsong University, hidden in the misty Scottish Highlands, Ophelia Winters is the ultimate outsider. Attending on a scholarship, she is there on a mission: investigate her parents’ suspicious deaths and destroy the powerful man she holds responsible. But everything changes when Ophelia meets Alex Corbeau-Green, billionaire heir, campus royalty, and son of her prime suspect. She’s convinced he’s a monster just like his father until a stalker emerges, and Alex becomes the only person she can trust in Sorrowsong’s secret-laden hallways.
 
As tension turns to yearning, Alex soon breaks down Ophelia’s walls, and her desire for revenge begins to unravel. Can she really bring herself to destroy everything he’s ever known?
 
With irresistible banter and a cliff-hanger ending that will leave you gasping, Nightshade is perfect for readers of Gothikana.

Meena Vibe:
This one is for the dark romantics—the ones who highlight poetry in blood-red ink and whisper “I love you” like a curse. It’s candlelit libraries, secret passageways, and tension so thick it tastes like blackberries and betrayal.
