But watching her move through my house is a slow-burn torture. She thinks she's a prisoner in my cage. She doesn't realize I'm the one being held captive. My friend wants her silenced. My family wants her perfect. But I'm keeping her. Because she owes me her life, and I'm coming to collect. ※ ※ ※ Ruin & Reverence is a standalone age-gap, forced-proximity romance.
