He was her boss. Her downfall. Her obsession. Katrina Matthews didn't come to Toronto for love-she came to forget. With a fresh start in hand and her sights set on success, the last thing she expected was to land a dream job at Kelce Trade Inc., working directly under the notorious billionaire CEO, Grayson Kelce. Sharp-tongued. Ice-cold. Sinfully gorgeous. Grayson is everything Katrina should avoid-and everything she can't seem to resist. But when he's indicted for corporate fraud, Katrina's world explodes. With federal investigators knocking, reputations on the line, and secrets running deeper than boardroom deals, Katrina is faced with an impossible choice: protect herself... or protect him. What starts as survival spirals into a twisted game of passion, betrayal, and blurred lines. Between office gossip, late-night confessions, and a web of complicated friendships, Katrina finds herself unraveling-in love, in rage, and in ruin. King of Ruin is a high-stakes, slow-burn romance laced with scandal, spice, and a heroine who refuses to go down without a fight. In a world fueled by secrets, money, and undeniable desire, can hate survive the heat-or will it turn into something far more dangerous? Perfect for fans of slow-burn tension, corporate drama, and forbidden romance, Beneath the Ledger is an unforgettable enemies-to-lovers tale of loyalty, ambition, and the price of the truth.
