Meggie had always been a devoted daughter. She gave everything to her family—until they asked for the one thing she could never sacrifice. One week before her wedding, her parents demanded that she give up her fiancé, Steven, to her frail younger sister. The ten-year love she had built with blood and tears was expected to be offered as a “family sacrifice.” Meggie refused. But betrayal came from the one person she trusted most. Steven chose Olivia. Worse—he had been cheating. Shattered, humiliated, and stripped of everything, Meggie fled to a bar. One reckless mistake in a drunken haze led her into the arms of a mysterious stranger. A night meant to be forgotten left her with two things: one million dollars… and a child growing in her womb. Six years later. Nicholas is Meggie’s entire world—brilliant, handsome, and the reason she keeps breathing. But fate turns cruel once more. Her son is taken as collateral for a debt owed to a mafia organization, and Meggie must pay 170 million dollars to get him back—an impossible sum. Nicholas is sold on the black market. And the man who buys him… is Victor. The bartender who once shared her bed. A dangerous man. Ruthless. The tyrant who leads the largest mafia organization in the city. Now Meggie must save her son before Victor discovers the one secret that could destroy everything— Nicholas is his flesh and blood. Between a first love who betrayed her, a family who used her, and a mafia that shows no mercy… how high a price must Meggie pay to protect her child?

A single rose can bind two fates forever. When her family’s fortunes crumble, Catherine never imagines her father’s desperation will lead him to barter her freedom. Promised as payment to the reclusive Lord Kieran—master of a castle steeped in legend and whispered curses—she is thrust into a world of shadows, secrets, and a predator’s gaze that both terrifies and captivates her. Kieran is more than a man; he is a wolf bound by an ancient curse, his life ruled by the prophecy: The rose will bring her. Catherine’s arrival is no accident—it is destiny. But claiming her means awakening a dangerous magic neither of them fully understands, one that threatens to unravel the fragile truce between man and beast. As moonlight sharpens the edge between desire and danger, Catherine must navigate the perilous game of a lord who guards both his heart and his curse with deadly resolve. In a place where every shadow hides a secret, every glance is a test, and love itself may be the deadliest bargain of all—one question remains: Will the rose bind them together… or doom them both? Perfect for fans of dark fairy-tale retellings, shifter romance, and gothic intrigue.

Buried in silence for centuries, Theron was meant to be forgotten—locked away as penance, left to starve until even memory surrendered. But when Nyssa tears open his tomb, she does more than wake an ancient hunger. She binds herself to the very ruin she thought she could resist. His blood vow is simple: protect her, claim her, keep her. But Theron’s protection is as dangerous as it is consuming, and every moment in his shadow tangles Nyssa deeper in a bond that demands surrender. She feels his hunger in her veins, his voice in her thoughts, his vow echoing sharper than any chain. And behind every promise is a reminder: Theron is not tamed. He is a killer, as merciless as the centuries that shaped him—and loving him means loving the ruin he brings. Torn between terror and desire, between the fragile life she knows and the eternity Theron offers, Nyssa must decide if she is strong enough to embrace the darkness she freed—or if his devotion will destroy them both. Because forever with a monster is not a promise of peace. It is a promise of hunger, obsession, and the kind of love that cuts as deep as it heals. A dark paranormal romance about hunger, obsession, and the thin line between protection and possession, The Sound of Ruin is for readers who like their monsters unrepentant, their heroines defiant, and their tension sharp enough to bleed. Expect enemies that burn into lovers, blood-soaked vows that refuse to break, and a gothic fantasy world where survival demands surrender and love is the most dangerous risk of all.
