Books like Nightshade

Poisonous and beautiful, just like the plant. Keri Lake grows Nightshade from gothic soil: dark romantasy with forbidden longing at its heart. Black as the berries, explicit in heat. Haunted, lush forbidden romance at its best, the kind that lingers long after you close it. Her writing makes darkness feel ornate and inviting. Check the warnings before reading, though.
