Ruin and Sin
Ruin and Sin – the first half of the Dark Island Scots series in one glossy boxed set. Get ready for steam, drama, and dark mystery.
Ruin
I wanted him. He wanted to ruin me.
It was the blood I noticed first. Running down the neck of the man on the ferry.
Then his bruised knuckles, dark eyes, and arrogant smirk.
The handcuffs came last.
No one else paid him attention, but I couldn’t look away. Or deny my instant lust.
I had no idea he was being imprisoned on the remote, dark Scottish island I knew well.
Or that he’d been kidnapped, not arrested.
I went from that naïve girl on the boat, dreaming of stolen kisses, to the one who held the key to his prison cell.
When heat turns to hate, all that’s left is ruin.
Sin
He was dangerous, but the real sin was mine.
Sinclair was my secret obsession.
The one I dreamed of in a homelife filled with violence and pain.
It was Sin’s darkness that saved me, wrapping its way around my heart until it beat only for him.
I helped him escape his island prison.
He asked me to leave with him.
But my mother is pregnant, and I won’t let another child be raised in that house of horrors.
The only way to free her is to betray the man I want and the family he’s creating.
Love is impossible when my only option is to sin.
