RUIN ME SOFTLY
A dark, slow-burn romance about healing, breaking... and blooming.
Avery Quinn writes poems under a pseudonym-raw, aching verses about a pain she never speaks aloud. Behind closed doors, she battles the ghosts of a relationship that nearly destroyed her. Touch-averse, guarded, and silently suffering from endometriosis, Avery has accepted one truth: she may never have the kind of love she writes about.
Then she meets Jaxon Wolfe.
Tattooed. Controlled. Quietly intense. Jaxon knows darkness. He grew up with it. Survived it. But nothing prepares him for the anonymous poetry that wrecks him-or the woman behind the words. He doesn't mean to fall for Avery. He just... does.
Their connection is slow. Careful. Electric.
But Avery's past doesn't stay buried. And when the man who broke her returns, the life she's finally begun to rebuild starts to shake.
She's terrified Jaxon will leave once he sees how deeply she's been damaged. But Jaxon's not afraid of scars. He's covered in his own.
And he doesn't want to save her.
He wants to love her. Fully. Fiercely. And without apology.
Even if it ruins them both.
