Toxic: A Dark Romance, Nicole Blanchard

The Joker meets Haunting Adeline in this dark, forbidden romance where a prison nurse is caught in a dangerous web of obsession with her ruthless psychopath patient.

My life has been a series of bad decisions.

Marrying an abusive man was the first... but falling for a dangerous inmate where I'm a nurse may be the worst.

He's brutal, heartless, and twisted.

But he's also the only one to notice the bruises on my skin.

His forbidden touch becomes my addiction.

His drugging kisses my obsession.

After I learn the truth about why he's in prison, I try to escape, but he finds me.

Now I'm his prisoner.

Toxic is a standalone dark romance featuring a pierced, morally gray antihero with Joker energy, obsessive "Touch Her & Die" protectiveness, and a dangerous cat-and-mouse dynamic with the prison nurse he refuses to let go. It contains explicit sexual content and a full list of trigger warnings can be found at the beginning of the book.

"Intense, filthy, suspenseful--Nicole Blanchard delivers all the goods in this addictive forbidden love story! I absolutely loved this book!" - USA Today bestselling author K Webster

Chaotic, Shantel Tessier

10/10 book.

By far, my 2nd favorite spade brother ❤️ this book had me in a chokehold. The themes in this book are not for the faint of heart, please read the trigger warnings. I can say hands down, that this bookhad me taking breaks because it was THAT heavy. I loved it, cover to cover.
