Matthew Wild is not the sole offspring of the Duke and Duchess of Canterbury. His sister, Katharina, affectionately known as Kathy among close circles, is a cherished member of the family, and Matthew holds a protective stance over her. However, when Kathy and their family receive invitations to a prestigious three-night ball, the occasion takes on a unique significance: it's an opportunity for the prince to select a new bride.

The prince in question, notorious for his reputation of infidelity, vulgarity, and charming in all the wrong ways, is a cause for concern. Yet, in the world of aristocratic secrets, what remains undisclosed is often assumed to be harmless.

He was never meant to be mine. But when fate gave me a way in, I stayed. Alexander Kensington was born with everything, wealth, grace, legacy. But beneath the perfection lies ruin. A past no one sees. Scars no one touches. A soul quietly unraveling. When his twin sister vanishes days before her arranged marriage, Alexander is forced to take her place, an act of duty that sends him straight into the orbit of Atlas King. Dangerous. Unforgiving. Trapped in a world of violence and shadows. Atlas was never supposed to want him but Alexander was never supposed to feel like home. What begins as cold tension turns into something far more devastating. A slow, aching pull neither of them can escape. In stolen moments and fractured nights, two men learn to choose each other over and over again, even when the world demands they don't. But love, like ruin, leaves its mark and some scars were made to be worshipped. [ Word Count: 200,000 to 260,000 ] ******************************************************* Author's Note: Marked by Ruin contains mature themes and sensitive subject matter that may be triggering for some readers. This includes but is not limited to: - Depictions of trauma - Sexual assault (non-graphic but emotionally heavy) - Mental health struggles (including depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation) - Abuse of power and manipulation - Scenes of violence and underground fighting - Explicit sexual content (18+) This story is a journey of healing, love, and reclamation, but it does not shy away from the darkness its characters endure. Please read with care, and prioritize your well-being above all.
