Poisoner

She's out for blood. He's out for her surrender. Alina Lis, a botanist and hobbyist poisoner, has made a pastime of killing unsavoury men in her own twisted sense of poetic justice. After a fateful encounter at a friend’s party, her next target becomes Silas Forbes, a conceited playboy with pale, lifeless eyes and a hunger that feels anything but human. But when Silas appears at her apothecary days later, it becomes clear he is no ordinary prey. Wherever Alina turns, Silas is there – watching, waiting, and weaving himself into her life with an intensity that both unnerves and enthralls her. As their twisted courtship deepens, whispers of scandal and unseen enemies begin to close in. Alina must protect her secrets and her heart, but Silas is a predator unlike any she’s faced. Will she succumb to his darkly seductive charm or be able to outwit the monster who has turned her own deadly game against her?
