A Stain To Keep

By Calla Tate

Book Overview

Demi: I move through life like a sparkler in a gas station parking lot-bright, loud, shedding glitter, and always half a second away from disaster. Fast cars, bad ideas, bigger laughs, and absolutely zero chill. People love me... until I'm too much. Too messy. Too emotional. Too intense. That's why I keep things casual and leave before anyone gets the chance to see all of me. Then I met Will. Oh, so careful. Precise. I should be intimidated by him. Instead, I've made it my mission to get him to see me for who I am and admit we'd make one hell of a team.

Will: I don't tolerate mess. Not in my bar. Nor my space. Not on my hands. People think I'm harmless, but I'm the one who makes problems disappear when things go wrong at Ruin's End. I notice details other men miss, especially when it comes to Demi Kincaid. She's reckless, annoyingly relentless, and absolutely not what a man like me should want. Yet the more she spirals into my world, the more I realize she isn't a mess I need to take care of. She's a stain I refuse to let anyone scrub away.

A Stain to Keep (Ruin's End Vol. Two) is a daring, slow-burn dark romantic comedy about what happens when a woman who survives in chaos meets the man who believes control is salvation-and together discover that some disasters are meant to be faced, not avoided.
