Marked in Ruin

By Kimberly Brock

Some love stories begin with a spark.

Theirs begins with a war.

Ava Quinn has spent years surviving chaos with a smile and a sharp tongue. As Nova Rose's best friend, she's seen the darkness behind Lukas Calder's empire and the dangerous world of Savage Society.

She just never expected to become part of it.

When a threat tied to Nova's past resurfaces, Ava finds herself pulled deeper into the crossfire-and assigned a bodyguard she absolutely cannot stand.

Rook.

Silent. Brutal. Completely loyal to Lukas Calder.

A man built for violence and shadows.

From the moment they meet, sparks don't fly.

They detonate.

Rook thinks Ava is reckless, loud, and far too curious for her own safety.

Ava thinks Rook is an arrogant, brooding nightmare who treats her like a liability.

Unfortunately for both of them, the orders are clear:

Rook doesn't leave her side.

Not while enemies circle Savage Society...
Not while someone begins hunting Nova's inner circle...
And not while Ava herself becomes the newest target.

The longer they're forced together, the more dangerous the tension becomes.

Because beneath Rook's cold control is something darker-something possessive that refuses to let Ava walk away.

And Ava?

She's never been afraid of monsters.

But falling for one might destroy them both.

In a world ruled by loyalty, blood, and vengeance, love isn't gentle.

It's ruthless.

And once you're marked...

Ruin is inevitable.
