Blackthorn
You never forget your first love.
1. BLACKTHORN by J.T. Geissinger
SYNOPSIS
Twelve years ago, Maven Blackthorn fled her small hometown, leaving behind the wreckage of her motherβs suspicious death. In New York City, she built a new lifeβone without the shadows of the past and the whispers of βwitchβ that always haunted her. But now, drawn back for her grandmotherβs funeral, Maven and her daughter, Bea, step onto Blackthorn soil once more, only to find themselves thrust into a fresh nightmare: her grandmotherβs body has vanished.
The Blackthorns immediately suspect the Croftsβthe ruthless titans of Croft Pharmaceuticals, whose bitter blood feud with the Blackthorns has spanned generations. But when Maven comes face-to-face with Ronan Croft, the son of her motherβs suspected killer and the only man she ever loved, the past and present collide with explosive consequences.
As long-buried family secrets claw their way to the surface, betrayal lurks behind every whisper, and old vendettas ignite anew. The deeper Maven digs for answers, the more dangerous the game becomes. And in a town where the dead wonβt stay buried, neither will the truthβno matter who it destroys.
