He bought my debts. He bought my freedom. Now, he wants my soul.
Savannah Cole is drowning. Between fourteen-hour shifts at The Golden Sip and a nineteen-year-old brother with a gambling addiction he can't pay off, she is one missed tip away from the street. She has a spine of steel and a plan to survive, but survival costs money she doesn't have.
Then Maddox Blackwood walks in.
He is the city's shadow king-a billionaire with a heart made of cold ledger entries and a reputation for ruining men who get in his way. He sits in Booth 12, watching her with eyes like an unlit hallway. He doesn't order food. He orders her.
When Savannah drops a tray, she expects to be fired. Instead, she gets a black card left on the table and a summons to Blackwood Tower. The offer is simple: Her brother's seventy-eight thousand dollar debt is wiped clean. He lives. He walks free.
The price? Her.
Savannah must live in Maddox's penthouse. She must wear his clothes, eat his food, and follow his three non-negotiable rules.
Don't leave.
Don't lie.
Obey.
Maddox doesn't want a girlfriend. He wants a possession. He wants to break her defiance until she fits perfectly into the cold, orderly world he built to hide his own fractured past. But Savannah isn't a doll to be placed on a shelf. She is a storm in a black dress, and she refuses to break.
As the walls of the penthouse close in, a dangerous game of power and obsession begins. Maddox wants to ruin her for any other life. But as the line between captive and keeper blurs, and a rival threatens to tear them apart, Savannah realizes the terrifying truth:
To save herself, she might have to ruin him right back.
RUIN ME, MADD is a standalone dark billionaire romance. It features a possessive, morally grey hero, a resilient heroine, and high-heat scenes. If you love touch her and die vibes, emotional scars, and a love story forged in fire, this book is for you.
