"I want to ruin her so that she's mine, my beautiful disaster. My wild creature. My goddess of chaos."

The viral TikTok sensation that started it all. Book 1 of the Ruinous Love Trilogy — a friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy full of murder, mayhem, and chemistry that absolutely should not work but completely does.

When rival serial killers Sloane and Rowan cross paths by chance, they discover something neither expected: a kindred spirit. Two pitch-black souls with a very particular hobby — hunting the hunters, taking out the monsters no one else will touch. It shouldn't be the foundation of a friendship. And yet.

From small-town West Virginia to upscale California, from downtown Boston to rural Texas, they collide year after year in a game of blood and competition, chasing the most dangerous prey in the country — and slowly, undeniably, each other.

But the deeper their bond grows, the louder the ghosts behind them become. And some debts don't stay buried forever.

Can Rowan and Sloane outrun the trail they've left behind — or have they finally met their match in each other?

Unlike anything you've read before. Perfect for readers who like their romance with a body count and their chemistry completely unhinged.
