Ruin Me

I came to ruin M.E.
Not to fall for him. Not to marry him.
But here I am—wearing his ring, breathing his lies, and holding the one truth that could destroy us both.

Marco Esposito is everything I was trained to fear—
Chicago’s most dangerous man, a ruthless mafia king, built on blood, emeralds, and whispered deals in rooms no one walks out of clean.

My mission was simple:
Get close. Expose his empire. Trade his downfall for my brother’s life.

Only nothing about Marco is simple.
He’s ruthless, yes… but he’s also patient, protective, and devastatingly precise in the ways he touches me.
When he slides an emerald ring with a twin-feather inclusion onto my finger, he doesn’t just claim me for the cameras.
He sees me—every lie, every scar, every truth I’ve buried deep.

Now I’m caught between two worlds:
The operation that owns my loyalty,
and the man who’s ruining me with every vow he whispers in the dark.

Because Marco isn’t just the enemy.
He’s the only person who might save me when the storm hits…
and the one person who could burn my world to ash.
