He built an empire to destroy her. She kept the evidence that could ruin them both.

At nine o’clock on Monday morning, Carys Fenwick approves the termination of nineteen employees.

At nine-oh-three, she resigns.

After fifteen years protecting powerful men and burying the damage they left behind, Halsten Group’s Chief People Officer is finally ready to expose them. Hidden inside her handbag is the Graveyard: eleven years of falsified investigations, secret payments and agreements designed to purchase silence.

Carys has planned every detail of her escape.

She never planned for Ronan Veyne.

Ruthless, obsessive and terrifyingly controlled, Ronan has spent twelve years building an empire for one purpose: destroying the people responsible for his sister’s death. Carys signed the agreement that silenced her. She was supposed to be the final name on his list.

Instead, Ronan acquires Halsten hours after Carys resigns and publicly rejects her resignation.

Then someone breaks into her home.

They know about the Graveyard. They know where she was planning to run. And they will do anything to recover the evidence before Carys can reveal what it contains.

Forced into a thirty-day bargain, Carys must give Ronan access to the secrets she has protected, while he offers the influence and security she needs to survive. But hatred soon becomes something far more dangerous, and every line between revenge, protection and possession begins to fracture.

Because the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that Halsten’s corruption reaches into Ronan’s own empire.

And trusting each other may be the one term that ruins them both.

Terms of Ruin is a dark, high-heat enemies-to-lovers romantic suspense featuring corporate corruption, forced proximity, an obsessive morally grey billionaire and a heroine who refuses to surrender control.
