Blackthorn After Dark

Blackthorn University does not appear on normal maps.

Isabella Sing never applied there. She never asked for the scholarship, the private room, or the silver mark that appears on her wrist the moment she crosses the iron gates.

But Blackthorn has been expecting her.

Beneath its gothic towers, old powers stir. Vampires, wolf-bound guardians, witches, incubi, and darker things beneath the stone all know what Isabella is before she does. Some want to protect her. Some want to claim her. Some are not sure where one ends and the other begins.

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

Jason Noir is all heat, instinct, and warning, a wolf-bound guardian who knows exactly how desire can become a trap.

And Isabella is done being treated like a key.

At Blackthorn, every appetite has a price.

Name. Touch. Blood. Pleasure. Rage. Surrender. Love.

The old powers want her to open the door.

They forgot to ask what she wants.

Blackthorn After Dark is Book One in The Duskborn Diaries, a darkly sensual paranormal romance series from My Pouty Lips, filled with gothic atmosphere, forbidden attraction, rival bloodlines, dangerous magic, and a heroine who refuses to be owned.
