Ruined Lies: A Dark Billionaire Romance - Paperback

"You belong to me now."

Kinsley Ellis's life ended in thirty-seven seconds of leaked audio. One viral scandal destroyed everything; her millions of followers, lucrative brand deals, and picture-perfect existence. Now she's canceled, broke, and contemplating whether a handful of sleeping pills is enough to make the pain stop.

That's when a text from an unknown number appears: I can help you fix this.

Carson Crest is Manhattan's most powerful reputation manager, and he's offering complete image rehabilitation in exchange for complete surrender. Sign his contract. Follow his rules. Play his perfect girlfriend for the cameras. Become his in every way that matters.

Desperate and out of options, Kinsley agrees.

What she doesn't know is that Carson has been orchestrating her destruction for four and a half years. Every cruel comment, every lost sponsorship, every friend who abandoned her are all carefully planned revenge for a crime she doesn't remember committing. The contract isn't salvation; it's a cage. And every moment she falls deeper under his spell is another victory in a game she doesn't know she's playing.

Now she's in his bed, under his control, and falling for the very man who made her world burn. His protection feels like sanctuary. His touch feels like salvation. Being owned by him is the most intoxicating addiction she's ever known.

But when Kinsley uncovers the truth behind the man she trusted to save her, she'll face the ultimate question:

What happens when the only person who can protect you...is the one who destroyed you?

In this dark billionaire romance, obsession cuts both ways and some scars never truly fade.
