Ruin

A chance encounter with a dangerous, captive stranger on a Scottish ferry sets off a chain reaction neither of them sees coming—especially when she discovers he's being held prisoner on the very island she calls home. What starts as an undeniable attraction quickly spirals into a complex game of power, secrets, and forbidden desire that will test everything she thought she knew about herself. Jolie Vines delivers a dark, angsty slow-burn that explores how quickly passion can transform into something far more complicated and consuming. Fair warning: this first book ends with a cliffhanger that'll leave you desperately reaching for the next one!
