Ruin

*Ruin is the perfect blend of ghost horror, with a dollop of psychological thriller and a sprinkle of romance.*

A shattered past. A haunted refuge. A relentless pursuit.

Determined to escape the wreckage of her violent marriage, Emmie Landers flees to the remote Scottish Highlands, seeking solace in Bruadair—a crumbling, isolated house far from the reach of her vengeful ex-husband. Here, she tells herself, she and her children will finally be safe.

But Bruadair doesn't feel safe. The air is thick with unease, shadows move where they shouldn't, an unnatural cold seeps through the walls, and then there are the photographs—disturbing images of her own family, appearing around the house. Worst of all, three-year-old Grace is whispering to unseen figures in empty rooms.

Hundreds of miles away, Scott Harvington is whipping up a storm. Emmie thought she could leave him behind, but Scott isn't the kind of man who lets go. Fuelled by rage and obsession, he is coming for her, determined to tear apart the fragile new life she's built. He will find her. And when he does, there will be no escape.

As Bruadair's dark past begins to bleed into Emmie's fragile present, the walls between the living and the dead grow thin. And with Scott closing in, and the fate of her family hanging in the balance, Emmie finds herself in a desperate battle for survival where she must confront the chilling truth of the past before it destroys everything she thought she had saved.

A pulse-pounding psychological thriller packed with ghostly suspense, eerie mystery, and heart-stopping terror, Ruin will grip you from the very first page—until you're too afraid to turn off the lights.
