Some reputations can be repaired.
Others are weaponized.
Kinsley Hayes never expected her private life to become public entertainment. But as whispers turn into rumors and rumors become headlines, she finds herself caught between perception and reality—with everyone convinced they know her story.
They don't.
Nightshade's influence is growing, but so are the enemies determined to tear it apart. As old rivalries intensify and new threats emerge, Klive is forced to navigate a dangerous balance between protecting the woman he loves and protecting the empire that depends on him.
The problem is that every move he makes seems to place a larger target on Kinsley's back.
Meanwhile, loyalties are being tested from every direction. Friends become difficult to read. Allies carry secrets. And the war unfolding beneath the surface is beginning to reach places once thought untouchable.
For Kinsley, trust has never been more complicated.
For Klive, restraint has never been more costly.
And for Nightshade, the price of survival may be higher than anyone imagined.
TAINTED LOVE is the fourth installment in the award-winning NIGHTSHADE series—an emotionally charged romantic suspense saga where loyalty is currency, reputations are weapons, and every choice has consequences.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
