Scythe & Sparrow (Book 3)

A doctor running from heartbreak. A circus performer with a kill list. And a small town in Nebraska that's about to get very complicated.

From the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark comes the final, explosive book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy — a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy packed with murder, mayhem, and undeniable heat.

Doctor Fionn Kane came to small-town Nebraska to disappear. No drama, no entanglements, no reminders of the almost-fiancée and the surgical career he left behind in Boston. Just a quiet life and a head kept firmly down.

Then the circus literally shows up.

Rose Evans has spent a decade as a motorcycle performer with the Silveria Circus, and she likes it that way — always moving, always in control, with the occasional side hobby she'd rather not explain. But when a kill goes sideways and she ends up with a broken leg, Rose finds herself stranded in Nebraska, recovering at the home of an adorably nerdy town doctor she absolutely did not plan to fall for.

The problem? Not every broken heart can be stitched back together. And the longer you stay in one place, the more your ghosts know exactly where to find you.

The thrilling, swoon-worthy conclusion to the Ruinous Love Trilogy. Perfect for fans of dark rom-coms with sharp wit, slow-burn tension, and characters who are deeply, delightfully unhinged.
