“I don’t just want to hear her laugh, I need to earn it. Every time I gain a little ground, I want more. I want to break out of the shade and back into her light. Without even realizing it, I’ve become addicted to it. To her.”
From the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird comes the second installment in the Ruinous Love Trilogy—a dark romantic comedy filled with danger, chaos, and passion.
Contract killer Lachlan Kane longs for a quiet life in his leather studio, trying to escape his traumatic past. But when he messes up a job for a major client, he knows there's no way out of the underworld—at least until indie singer Lark Montague proposes a deal: he hunts down a killer, and she’ll help him find freedom. The twist? He must marry her first.
The problem? They can't stand each other.
Lark is the vibrant sunshine that pierces through every shadow Lachlan hides in. The brooding older brother of her best friend’s soulmate, Lachlan sees her as just a privileged princess, but Lark harbors secrets in the light of her sunny exterior. With her family in turmoil and her best friend's happiness at stake, she's prepared to make a vow to the man she’s set on hating, despite how alluring he may be.
As they traverse the dark world that binds them, it becomes increasingly difficult to separate their fake marriage from a real one. However, they aren’t just haunted by familiar dangers—there’s a more sinister threat lurking close by.
And this one is out for blood.
Tropes:
Hate-to-love
Marriage of convenience
Grumpy / sunshine
He falls first
Groveling, but make it psycho
