A Ring For Ruin

He needed a pawn.
She became a problem.

Damon Hale didn't believe in redemption.
Only retribution.
And when the Voss family ruined his life with one well-placed lie, he didn't just want revenge-he wanted ruin.

The deal was simple: marry the youngest Voss daughter, strip her of her name, and bury the rest of her family in the ashes of their secrets.
He expected a naive girl. Obedient. Broken. Easy to hate.

But Rhea Voss was none of those things.
She didn't beg.
She didn't cry.
She didn't fight.

She watched him with eyes like silence, moved through their loveless home like a ghost, and obeyed every cruel demand like it meant nothing at all.
And somehow... that was worse.

Because Rhea isn't innocent.
And Damon isn't the only one who came to destroy.

This isn't a love story.
This is a slow descent into obsession, ruin, and the kind of twisted bond that only forms in the dark.
He wanted her gone.
Now he doesn't know how to let her go.
