SWEETEST RUIN

Céline Chevalier is the crown jewel of Paris. As the only daughter of the legendary business tycoon Lucian Chevalier, her life is a blueprint of prestige and power. Currently finishing her senior year of college, Céline doesn't just carry the Chevalier name-she owns it. She's ambitious, sharp, and already eyeing the throne of her father's global empire. She is the "Golden Girl" everyone respects, the perfect daughter who never misses a beat.

"You like to play with fire, darling. Don't cry when I'm the one who lets you burn."

But perfection is a heavy mask. Behind the poised exterior and the boardroom meetings lies a girl who craves the chaos of the night. Past midnight, the "Perfect Pearl" vanishes, replaced by a version of Céline that thrives on adrenaline and secret VVIP parties. She thinks she's in control. She thinks her father's shadow can't reach her in the strobe lights of the Parisian underground.

She was wrong. She didn't account for Jungkook.

He isn't a business rival, and he isn't looking for a deal. He is a force of nature that doesn't care about her family's reputation or her future branches. To him, Céline isn't an heiress to be respected-she's a challenge to be conquered. When he catches her in the middle of her reckless escape, he doesn't just threaten her secret; he hijacks her entire existence.

"You were raised to be a queen, little petal. But in my world? You're just mine."

In one night, the pride of the Chevalier name is dragged into the dark. Jungkook doesn't want to join her world; he wants to dismantle hers until there's nothing left but him. He's obsessive, he's relentless, and he's decided that the Golden Girl's rebellion ends in his arms.

What happens when the girl who is proud of everything she owns meets a man who decides he owns her?

"You were made to be admired from a distance, Céline. But I've always preferred to touch the art."
