Theirs to ruin

**Synopsis – Theirs to Ruin** Eliana has always known the house she lives in is dangerous. Not because of the locked doors or the quiet hallways, but because of the two men who share it with her. Josh, her stepbrother, is twenty-four and already obsessed. He watches her like he owns every breath she takes. When he finally corners her, he doesn’t ask. He takes—hard, rough, and without mercy—leaving bruises and filthy words that make her body betray her even while her mind screams that this is wrong. Richard, her stepfather, is older, quieter, and just as dangerous. He doesn’t need to raise his voice. One look is enough to make her pulse race. He waits. He observes. And when he decides it’s his turn, he claims her with the same ruthless control, only colder, more deliberate. Sarah, her mother, sleeps just down the hall, completely unaware that her daughter is being ruined by both the son and the husband under their own roof. Eliana tells herself she hates it. She tells herself she should stop it. But every time Josh pins her down and every time Richard’s hands close around her throat, the truth becomes harder to deny: She doesn’t want to be saved. She wants to be ruined. By both of them.
