A Beautiful Kind of Ruin

Lena Hart has spent years trying-and failing-to ignore the one man she was never supposed to want. Ronan Wolfe, her brooding, untouchable stepbrother, has been a storm cloud looming over her life since they were teenagers. Dark, dangerous, and untamed, he's spent years keeping her at arm's length, pushing her away even as something electric simmered between them.

But when Lena returns home for the summer, everything changes.

One stolen kiss. One moment of weakness.

And suddenly, the tension that's been building for years ignites into something undeniable.

Ronan has spent his life fighting-both in underground rings and within himself. He's never let anyone in. Never let himself need anything. But Lena? She's the one thing he can't stay away from. She's fire and light, the only warmth he's ever known. And he knows he'll ruin her if he lets himself have her.

But when Lena walks away, determined to break free from the cycle of push and pull, Ronan is left reeling.

He thought keeping his distance would protect her.

He was wrong.

Now, with his world unraveling and Lena slipping through his fingers, Ronan has to make a choice: keep fighting the inevitable, or finally claim the only thing that's ever mattered.

Lena was never his to want.

But now?

She's his to lose.
