Between Ruin and Desire

to Between Ruin and Desire:

There’s a razor-thin line between wanting someone and wrecking them—and Lila Hart has never been one to play it safe.

A starving artist with ink-stained hands and a defiance as sharp as her charcoal blades, Lila trades in truths too raw for Manhattan’s polished galleries. Adrian Vale is her antithesis: a corporate titan shackled to a loveless engagement, his life a spreadsheet of obligations and icy self-control. But when a chance collision at a high-society gala leaves her paint smeared across his thousand-dollar shirt, their chemistry detonates like a lit match in a gaslit room.
