Heir of Ruin

“Your father named you as collateral, Isla. In writing. In blood.”

Two years ago, I weakened and kissed her—the woman who demanded my attention, my obsession, and everything in between. Then my brother walked in and reminded me why she could never be mine.

I had to cut her loose.

Treat her like an enemy.

She should have walked away.

Instead, she came for my company. My family. Everything I’ve spent my life protecting.

And turned herself into a problem I can no longer ignore.

She thinks I’m nothing more than a polished New York businessman. She has no idea what lies beneath the tailored suits and effortless control.

I’ve spent a lifetime hiding my family legacy. The criminal empire. And the debt I thought I’d buried—all for the sake of saving her pretty little neck.

Getting her onto my yacht is for her own good.

Keeping her there? Well, that’s harder to justify.

Especially when she realizes the shore isn’t coming back into view.

She calls it intimidation. Manipulation. Kidnapping.

I consider it a necessary course correction.

Because her father made a promise in blood.

And I’m not the only one who knows that debt is due.

Heir of Ruin launches a new series in the bestselling Hunting Her world, featuring a dangerously obsessed anti-hero, captive undertones, forced proximity, touch-her-and-die energy, and a heroine who never agreed to become the price of her father’s debt. Expect high-stakes power imbalance, morally grey choices, and a romance where protection and possession become impossible to separate.
