I wanted him. He wanted to ruin me.
It was the blood I noticed first. Running down the neck of the man on the ferry.
Then his bruised knuckles, dark eyes, and arrogant smirk.
The handcuffs came last.
No one else paid him attention, but I couldn’t look away. Or deny my instant lust.
I had no idea he was being imprisoned on the remote, dark Scottish island I knew well.
Or that he’d been kidnapped, not arrested.
I went from that naïve girl on the boat, dreaming of stolen kisses, to the one who held the key to his prison cell.
When heat turns to hate, all that’s left is ruin.

Ruin (Dark Island Scots, #1) is a new adult romance with dark themes, including angst, lust-to-hate-to-love, and lost innocence. This series will be deeply interconnected, so expect the occasional wicked cliffhanger (and McRae cameo). It'll be well worth the heart palpitations.
Lose yourself in Ruin.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This was a thrilling read!
"Struan's look turned predatory, raking over me with raw heat and a hunger I barely understood."
When innocent, good girl, Theadora Stewart, notices the roughed up bad boy on the ferry over to Torlum, he affects her like no other man before. She's never met anyone like Struan Gallagher before but everything about him and his circumstances is a mystery and somehow seems wrong. As her own life begins to unravel, the spark between them roars into something fiery and addictive. Unfortunately, time is running out as they race to discover the secrets of the past and present - secrets that link them to one another.
"She'd come back. She wanted me. A decision slammed into my mind, irrevocable and solid. Mine."
I just ADORED this story! It was dark, gritty and scorchingly passionate. This author has always been fantastic at her craft, but I definitely feel that this series will push her up to another level. Thea's personal journey from meek and gentle girl into a woman of courage, who fights to take control of her life, was heartwarming and almost victorious. I loved her innocence, her good heart, and her passion for Struan. In turn, I adored how Thea made him feel - giving him the tenderness, love and belief that he'd been crying out for all his life. Struan was a brash hothead but I loved his fierce possession of Thea, and the way she made him feel vulnerable and raw. They made an unlikely pair but were so right together. Such an amazing start to a new series!
