Ruin me gently
Alicia Voss has spent her life chasing justice. As a prosecutor, she’s built her reputation on bringing criminals to their knees—until a brutal case forces her into the shadows of the city’s underworld. At the center of it all stands Lucas Mercer, the enigmatic CEO with a past shrouded in blood and secrets.
The law says he’s untouchable. The whispers say he’s far worse—a man who rules the night with power, fear, and bullets. But when Alicia finds herself targeted by unseen enemies, it’s Lucas who saves her—not out of kindness, but because he has a proposal she can’t ignore.
As their worlds collide, the line between right and wrong blurs. Alicia should want to destroy him. Instead, she’s drawn to the danger he offers, the darkness he wears like a second skin.
But in Lucas’s world, love is just another weapon, and enemies lurk behind every shadow. The deeper Alicia falls, the harder it becomes to tell whether Lucas is her greatest threat… or the only salvation she has left.
