Twisted Ruin: A Tale of Obsession, Power, and Surrender

By V.A. Auctrix

Twisted Ruin
A Love Story Meant to Break You

I didn't mean to get involved.
He wasn't even mine to want.
But the moment Ares touched me, I stopped thinking clearly.
And I haven't stopped wanting him since.

Vivienne is the girl who watches from the edge of the party-sarcastic, clever, and tired of pretending she fits in with the ultra-rich crowd her parents keep forcing her into. The last thing she wants is to babysit the brooding, silent man in the shadows-the one hopelessly in love with another woman.

But one drunken mistake leads to a night she can't forget.
And a man who refuses to let her go.

Ares has money, power, and secrets darker than the pool he's guarding. He was meant to stay loyal to the woman he can't have-but Vivienne's sharp tongue, quick mind, and goddamn mouth pull him into something he can't control.

Their nights burn hot. Their days spiral deeper.
And when obsession turns possessive, stalkerish even, Vivienne will learn that desire isn't always tender.

Sometimes it's twisted.
Sometimes it ruins you.

He was never mine.
But he made sure I'd never belong to anyone else.
