By Frenzy I Ruin: Sins of the Fathers, Book 5

Some wounds don't heal — they fester, sharpen, and transform into something far more dangerous than the love that first caused them.

Aurora Scuderi gives Nevio Falcone everything: her loyalty, her heart, her unwavering devotion through every shadow of their shared childhood. Then, in a single catastrophic moment, he destroys it all. Fleeing Las Vegas and the wreckage of what they once were, Aurora is determined to build a life where Nevio Falcone is nothing more than a scar she no longer touches.

But Nevio isn't built for letting go.

A man carved from violence and instinct, Nevio has always lived by his darkest impulses — until he realizes that no bloodshed, no carnage, no act of destruction quiets the obsession burning through him quite like Aurora's absence does. She is the one thing he craves more than chaos, and she is the one thing he has already ruined once. That doesn't stop him from hunting her down.

In the fifth installment of the *Sins of the Fathers* series, JF Harding and Cora Reilly deliver a raw, unflinching dark romance that refuses to flinch from its most uncomfortable edges. This is not a story of a man learning to be gentle — it's the story of a woman deciding whether a love built on ruin is still worth fighting for.

Nevio warns her that he destroys everything he wants. Aurora already knows. She just can't make herself run fast enough.
