I took a job as a live-in nanny for a billionaire single dad to escape my old life.
After discovering my fiancé's affair-and the baby he kept hidden from me-I leave LA for Manhattan determined to keep my head down, heal quietly, and avoid complicated men altogether.
Then I meet Adriano Mancini.
My new boss is possessive, protective, and impossible to ignore. He loves his daughter fiercely, watches me like I'm something precious, and somehow sees through every wall I try to keep in place.
Living in Adriano's brownstone was never supposed to feel like home.
Neither was falling for him.
But just when I finally start believing I deserve something real, my past comes back determined to destroy it-and Adriano's need to protect me starts blurring into secrets and control in ways that threaten everything between us.
The Art of Ruin is a steamy contemporary mafia romance featuring a possessive billionaire single dad, nanny/employer tension, forced proximity, found family chaos, touch-her-and-die devotion, and a hero who falls first and never recovers.
