Some men are made of shadows. He was made of thorns.

Blackthorn by J.T. Geissinger

The book that will leave marks long after you've closed the cover.

She never should have crossed his path. He never should have let her walk away. But fate — and something far darker — had other plans.

J.T. Geissinger delivers the kind of romance that grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. Blackthorn is brooding, intense, and laced with the sharp edges that made Geissinger one of dark romance's most beloved authors. This is not a gentle love story. It is something far more consuming.

At Dark Rose, we believe stories are often about far more than their plot.

You may never find yourself entangled with a man like him.

But you may know what it feels like to guard your heart, to want something you know could hurt you, or to wonder if being truly known is worth the risk of being truly broken.
