Innocent Ruin: A Dark Enemies-to-Lovers Romance with an Obsessive, Morally Grey Billionaire Hero (Dark Acquisitions Book 3)

What happens when the man you're secretly betraying has known your every move from the beginning? In Innocent Ruin, Margot Arden delivers a dark billionaire romance built around deception, obsession, dangerous secrets, and an intense enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Natalie Kowalski has a dangerous assignment. Her connection to the Bratva forces her to spy on her wealthy employer, Bastien Fournier, a powerful billionaire whose influence and personality make him difficult to challenge. With her parents' safety at stake, Natalie has little choice but to continue gathering information about the man she works for. But Bastien is far more perceptive than she realizes. When he catches Natalie spying, he presents her with an ultimatum: accept a contract of indentured servitude or face prison. Natalie chooses the contract, but surrendering her freedom does not mean surrendering her plans. Bastien, meanwhile, has his own strategy. He has been aware of Natalie's activities and has deliberately allowed her to believe she is getting away with them. Behind his controlled exterior lies a calculating man whose fascination with Natalie runs deeper than she understands. As their dangerous arrangement develops, the boundaries between manipulation, control, hostility, and attraction become increasingly complicated. Readers can expect a morally grey billionaire hero, a determined heroine, Bratva connections, power struggles, psychological tension, and an intense dark-romance relationship. This novel is intended for adult readers who enjoy obsessive billionaire heroes, enemies-to-lovers romance, morally complicated characters, and darker romantic themes. Readers should consult the author's content warnings before beginning.
