Of Love & Ruin is the first book in a LGBTQ+ urban fantasy novel for fans of Hailey Turner's Soulbound series, and Ashley Shuttleworth's Hollow Star Saga.
​
​
Sometimes, love comes along at exactly the wrong time.
For over a hundred years, life for Ander and Mab has been a series of parties and adventures spanning the world over. Once the two finally decide to settle in Miami to open a nightclub, the last thing Ander expects is for the love spell he cast over a century ago to come back and bite him.
The Fates seem to have a sense of humor when they lead Maximus Schields, son of Ander’s nemesis, through the club doors. Max, who is beautiful. Sweet. Kind. And part of an ongoing investigation concerning missing young women that leads the Sanctum directly to Ander.
As the tangled web of Miami’s underground draws tighter, Ander will be forced to face demons from his past in order to protect what he cares for most. Will Max and the rest of the Schields family task force find the true culprit and prove Ander’s innocence? Or is he forever destined to be shackled by the one he loves?
