I'm hosting a promo, today, on S.S. Rayne's latest release, Between Sin and Ruin (Ruinous Duet #1), as a part of the ongoing release blitz tour. Check it out! Note that Between Sin and Ruin is free in kindle unlimited!!
It was about power, loyalty, and survival.
I knew that when I said my vows.
I learned how to be still.
How to be perfect.
How to stand beside a man like Alaric Kostas—heir to an empire built on blood—and never let him see where I could break.
And for a while, I didn’t.
Because Alaric didn’t destroy what belonged to him.
He protected it.
Controlled it.
Closed his hand around it until there was nowhere left to run.
I let him.
I let him build a world around me that looked like devotion and felt like ownership.
Until the night I saw something I was never meant to see.
That was the night the illusion died.
The night I stopped being his perfect wife, and remembered exactly what I was capable of becoming.
🚨Author’s Note
This is a dark romance and explores themes of power, control, and betrayal, including one instance of infidelity.
This is a duet, and the central couple’s HEA unfolds in Book 2.

5 Star Amazon Review - “The writing is stunning. The world is rich and immersive and I was completely lost in it from the first page. The slow burn made me absolutely feral in the best way. Yes, the ending wrecked me. Yes I cried. Yes I am counting down the days until Book 2 with my whole being.”
