In the shadows of New York City, power is inherited, loyalty is bought, and love is a dangerous game.
Xavier Knight is the newly crowned leader of the Nightshade Syndicate - a ruthless mafia empire built by blood and sustained by fear. At just twenty-five, he commands billion-dollar corporations, corrupt officials, and a city that bends to his will. Cold. Calculated. Untouchable. Until one night, a bullet tears through his world... and a stranger saves him.
Avery Miles is running - from her past, from the scars no one sees, from the man who broke her. A registered nurse with quiet strength and guarded eyes, she lands in New York hoping to disappear. But fate has other plans.
Their worlds collide in an alley soaked with danger. She didn't mean to help him. He didn't mean to need her.
But now, neither can walk away.
Nightshade is a slow-burn, emotionally rich romance tangled in crime, secrets, and the kind of love that could ruin them both.

She gasped, clutching her stomach as tears ran down her face. "I know, it's crazy." Leandro said, running his fingers through his hair. Kayleigh stepped forward, raised her shaky hand and caressed Leandro's cheek. Leandro closed his eyes and slightly leaned into her soft hand. She sobbed, "H-how is this possible?" "I-I don't know. But it's you, isn't it?" He whispered, desperately hoping that her answer would be yes. She smiled, "Yes, it's me. My Italian monster." She said with a little chuckle. Leandro let out a sigh of relief. Opening his eyes, he stared into her beautiful brown eyes and said; "My beautiful butterfly."

Join Ocatvia and Sarki as they learn to trust and love each other even when the odds say one would end up dying at the hands of the other. ------------ "You say I am your Queen and you are the King of the Pride. If there isn't trust between the King and Queen, then the whole kingdom is bound to fall. If I am important to you as you say and you won't even give me just an ounce of trust. You are wasting my time aren't you? You are playing with me. You aren't really attracted to me,you are just playing with the feelings of your enemy's child." Forgetting that the door was locked, I turned around to go outside. "I shouldn't let you waste my time. I should end whatever is between us and go stay in the room you keep your prisoners." As I struggled to open the door, I felt his arm wrap around my waist and pull me into his chest,away from the door. "Let me go King." He turned me around to face you. "I can't do that. I can't let you go,what we have cannot end. I swear,I will change. I will work on trusting you,I will try my best to stop shouting and I won't hurt you, you just can't leave." --------

When Bennett and Bailey met, they both instantly had a thing for each other. But one of Bennett's rivals also has a thing for her and will stop at nothing to get her. <><><><><><> "Damn your weak as shit!" I laughed. My face hurt like a bitch but I wasn't going to tell him that. As my hands were swinging around, Ethan grabbed both my wrists and pushed them back onto the pillow on the bed. He picked my body up effortlessly throwing that on the bed. He pushed my wrists more into the pillow which began to hurt. "Say that again, darling." He put his face right in front of mine. "I dare you." His voice was just above a whisper. I thought about it for a minute. Saying it again would be the right thing to do but that could result in a lot of pain. If I didn't say it again though, he would call me weak and a pussy. I am neither of those things so I took a deep breath and repeated my statement. "You. Are. Weak. As shit. What was unclear about that?" I tilted my head taunting him further. <><><><><><> DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the images used however, all of the characters and plot details are my own work.
