From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Rachel Van Dyken comes the Ruin series.

Kate has built her life around staying careful, steady, and far away from anything that could break her again.

When their worlds collide, neither of them is prepared for how quickly attraction turns into something deeper. But love between them is never simple. Old wounds, emotional walls, and pressures from the world around them keep pulling them apart just as they start to feel close. Kate wants to protect her heart, Seth wants to prove he’s worth the risk, and both must decide if what they feel is strong enough to survive everything working against them.
