Her Ruin

She came to destroy the empire. She didn't expect to want the woman sitting on its throne.

***

Andrea Felipe has nothing left to lose. Her fiancé was murdered and the killer still breathes. So Andrea buries her real name to become Elsa Cruz, takes a job as at Vicious Red -- a luxurious flesh palace owned by the Tanaka clan. Now she pours drinks, eavesdrops and waits for a name or a throat to cut.

Akemi Tanaka is no princess, despite what everyone calls her. She is far worse.

When a police raid exposes a rat inside her club, Akemi responds the only way she knows how: brutally.

One question. One gun. One body after another.

At then end of the day, the lucky winner is Elsa, and Akemi offers a deal:

Seven days to find the traitor hiding in my club. If you succeed, you walk free. If you fail, I'll paint the floor with what's left of you.

Andrea accepts for one reason only: Revenge.

But hatred becomes dangerous when it starts breathing like desire.

Because the closer Andrea gets to Akemi, the more impossible it becomes to separate the monster from the woman. The killer from the touch she craves. The enemy from the person beginning to ruin her.
