Ruin (Rhodes #1) by Rina Kent

                             My feet tingle. I begrudgingly push back to stare into his eyes. The grey flecks soften. They consider me with a mixture of adoration and... pain?

                             “You can’t live without me?”

                             “Technically I can.” He smiles down on me, but sadness tugs down the corners of his lips. “But it’s only a shell. One I don’t want.”

                             I bury my face in his chest and take another dose of his bewitching scent. “I love you, Aaron. I never stopped loving you. I forgave everything except you leaving me.”

                             “Does that mean I need to grovel?” Aaron asks in a playful tone.

                             “Uh-huh.” I nod into his chest, stifling a smile. “The first step is taking me back to the estate.”

                             Aaron pulls away from me and offers me a heart-stopping grin. “You do know what that means, right?”

                             “I don’t.” I smile. “But I’m ready to find out.”

                             About the Author



                             Rina Kent has always been obsessed with storytelling and flawed, yet gripping characters. She makes it her mission to give such characters all types of trouble before granting them happy endings. Her writing tends to be edgy with touches of darkness and sprinkles of angst. Outside of writing, Rina manages a hectic schedule divided between studying and living with the most supportive fiancé and a not-very-supportive cat.
