What would be the most romantic way to ruin yourself?

Lady Ross has long accepted that love isn't for her. After years of heartbreak, she's chosen solitude-until Sauder Atlas steps into her world. Mysterious, alluring, and dangerous, Sauder lures her into a slow, intoxicating waltz between hesitation and surrender. As an artist with a shadowed past, he creates beauty from darkness, sculpting the grotesque into the divine. But his masterpiece, his greatest temptation, might just be her.

Sauder swore vengeance on his mother's grave, his life a mission of calculated destruction. With wealth, power, and an arsenal of secrets, he is a man unshaken-until Lady. Her presence is an exquisite disruption, a threat to the armor of a man who has never known softness. For the first time, revenge is no longer the only thing he desires.

But love and ruin walk a thin line, and when the past collides with the present, both will have to decide: Is love an escape-or the ultimate destruction?

As precious as a gemstone. As enticing as the deepest hue. If life can imitate art, then surely love can as well... right?

A seductive and pulse-pounding blend of romance, mystery, and raw emotion, Black Amethyst is a masterful, genre-defying novel that will leave readers breathless. Toni Carter delivers a stunning tale of passion, power, and the choices that define us.
