The Nightshade Contract

A Dark Paranormal Billionaire Romance

By: Pippa Farthingale

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ten years ago, he broke my heart to save my life. Now he’s back to claim the rest of me.

Toran Wilder isn’t just a billionaire CEO. He is a predator in a bespoke suit. A creature of shadow and ozone who has spent a decade starving himself to keep the world safe from his hunger. But his control is finally slipping, and the only thing that can save him is a plant that doesn't exist on Earth.

He has the seeds. He has the laboratory.
But he needs me to make it bloom.

I am Jessa Swift. I deal in sunlight and soil, not blackmail and monsters. But when Toran buys the debt on my family’s conservatory and threatens to bulldoze it, he leaves me no choice. The contract is brutal: Move into his glass tower. Grow the Somnium Aeterna. Cure his hunger.

But the man waiting in the penthouse isn't the boy I loved. He is a ruin. A starving, desperate king pacing his cage. He warns me to lock my door. He tells me he’s dangerous. But every time he pins me with those burning violet eyes, the air between us crackles with a static charge that feels terrifyingly like desire.

He says he needs the nectar.
But when he looks at my throat, I know the truth.

He doesn’t just want the cure. He wants the gardener.

And this time, I don’t think he’s going to let me go.
