Some love stories promise healing.

His to Ruin promises transformation—through obsession, power, and the exquisite danger of surrender.

The next novel in the Velvet Vows series, His to Ruin explores a question that lingers long after the final page:

What if the thing that destroys you is also the thing that makes you brilliant?

A Woman in Exile

Once celebrated, now publicly disgraced, Isla Vane vanishes from the art world that once worshipped her. Betrayed by the man she loved and trusted, she retreats to a secluded estate, desperate for anonymity, silence, and the freedom to create again without interference.

What Isla believes is escape is, in truth, arrival.

The Man Behind the Curtain

Damien Rourke is not a savior. He is a designer.

A wealthy art patron with a shadowed reputation and an obsessive devotion to artistic purity, Damien believes brilliance is born through fracture. He offers Isla exactly what she craves—protection, isolation, unwavering focus—but his generosity comes with a cost.

Control.

Influence.

Surrender.

Damien doesn’t want to own Isla’s body alone. He wants her mind, her pain, her art—and the power to reshape her into his ultimate vision.

Muse or Captive?

As desire tangles with domination, Isla slips into a relationship where intimacy and power blur beyond recognition. She is cherished and confined. Encouraged and dismantled. Inspired to create at depths she never dared reach—by a man who pushes her to bleed onto the canvas, no matter the personal cost.

The estate becomes a sanctuary that feels increasingly like a cage.

And cages always reveal their bars eventually.

When the Illusion Shatters

The arrival of Isla’s former best friend, a relentless documentarian, and Damien’s estranged sister fractures the carefully curated reality Damien has built. Long-buried secrets surface. Motives collide. And Isla uncovers the most devastating truth of all:

Damien didn’t rescue her from ruin.

He orchestrated it.

The Final Choice

Faced with the truth, Isla must decide what freedom really means.

Is it escape from the man who broke her open?

 Or is it embracing the darkness that fuels her art, her desire, and her becoming?
