A steamy dark romance intended for mature audiences, 'Deadly Nightshade' is a twisted tale of love between two characters wrecked with their own traumas in a town lined with red flags. It is a standalone novella inspired by characters from Tim Burton's classic—'The nightmare before Christmas'

This book is NOT a retelling and has no affiliation to the original work, it is simply inspired by the characters. HER SOUL IS DARK AND DAMAGED. HIS IS A LITERAL NIGHTMARE

Sold to a merciless mafia Kingpin, to clear her father’s debts Suzy has known nothing but depravity at the hands of deplorable men. New to the sleepy little town of Hollow Hills, any hope she has of a happily ever after has long since been shattered.

Until she’s staring down the barrel of the masked strangers gun.

Jax Carter believed in very little, especially God, the suspicious deaths of his parents & the years under the harsh scrutiny of the local church saw to that. Channeling his past traumas, Jax seeks vengeance on any man in town with a tally of sins against his name. Jax is exactly what everyone suspects……an unhinged psycho with a twisted Robin Hood complex. But maybe for her….he could be different.

It’s only a matter of time before Suzy uncovers Jax’s twisted secret & the true depravity haunting Hollow Hills comes to the surface….“The devil will come for me eventually Little Doll, and when it does, all I will take from this life, is the memory of you”

If you love the idea of a Golden Retriever Psycho with morally grey methods, who would happily burn down the world with a bloodied smile on his face for our Curvy FMC, then this is the book for you. Sometimes the Villain gets the girl. So strap in for a bumpy ride, because the number one way to leave Hollow Hill's, is six foot deep in an unmarked grave....
