For every woman who’s ever been told to be quiet, and chose her voice anyway. You did the right thing by making sure to survive.
Power is easy. Choosing, when you could have anything — that’s the dangerous part.
SYNOPSIS
Elena Reyes has never owed anyone anything, until her brother’s reckless debt lands her in the world of Damien Voss.
Cold, controlled, and untouchable, Damien doesn’t deal in mercy. He deals in leverage. Elena is the collateral though: she’s to be confined to his world until the debt is settled, watched by a man who takes what he wants and has never once been told no.
Except, Damien doesn’t take her. He waits. Trapped between his mansion’s walls and the danger closing in around them both, Elena finds herself fighting a battle no one warned her about. Not against Damien, but against the want clawing its way out of her every time her irresistibly handsome captor looks at her like she’s already his. He won’t touch her without her asking, no, begging. So she has to decide how far she’ll let this go and how much of herself she’s willing to hand over to a man who could ruin her with a single word.
When the debt becomes the least dangerous thing between them, Elena realizes she was never really trapped by Damien’s world.
She’s trapped by how badly she wants to stay in it.
Silent Ruin is a slow-burn dark romance of power, restraint, and a claiming she chooses for herself. This book is perfect for fans of 365 Days and The Darkest Temptation.
