Meet me at midnight... When Augusta Fordham receives that message from an unknown admirer, the plot could have come straight from her favourite romance novel. Oh, wait—it did.

Augusta is soon caught between wealthy doctor Gregory and a dark stranger who makes her pulse race as he indulges her fantasies. Will she choose comfort and security or take a leap into the unknown?

When she makes her decision, she's thrust into a world of secrets and lies with no one to trust. Only Emmy, her new flatmate, seems to be on Augusta's side as she discovers there's just one truth: love is never easy.

Carbon is a standalone romantic thriller in the Blackwood Elements series. No cliffhanger!
