Ruin by Elizabeth Knox

I killed her parents when she was sixteen.

Cassius

Years later, I made her fall in love with me. She wears my collar. Sleeps in my bed. Runs my empire at my side. And she has no idea that the man who owns her body is the same man who destroyed her world. Selene Deveraux was supposed to be a weapon. A tool. The judge’s daughter, sharpened into something useful and aimed at my enemies. I wasn’t supposed to need her. I wasn’t supposed to break when she found out the truth, held a gun to my chest, and didn’t pull the trigger. Now the Russians are circling, her best friend is bleeding in a chair, and the woman I ruined is the only person who can save everything I’ve built. She’ll have to choose—the man who murdered her parents, or the life he built for her on their graves.

Warning: Ruin is an extremely dark, spicy romance. This is intended for mature audiences only and may be triggering for some readers. Please proceed with caution. For the full reading experience, read the prequel, Ravage, available for free!
