Five years ago, Scarlett Hayes watched billionaire Adrian King destroy her father's company in a ruthless hostile takeover that left her family in ruins. Refusing to let her name die with her father's empire, Scarlett rebuilds from nothing, creating a thriving multimillion-dollar business and proving everyone who underestimated her wrong. On the night of her greatest triumph, Adrian walks back into her life with a devastating announcement—he intends to acquire her company next. Determined to protect everything she's built, Scarlett declares war. But Adrian's relentless pursuit isn't driven solely by business. Beneath years of resentment, buried secrets, and dangerous misunderstandings lies a truth that could change everything either of them believes about the past. As corporate sabotage, boardroom betrayals, and family secrets threaten to destroy them both, Scarlett and Adrian are forced into a battle where every victory comes at a price. The closer they get to uncovering the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the undeniable attraction neither of them wants to admit. In a world where power is everything and trust is a luxury, they'll have to decide whether revenge is worth losing the only person who truly understands them. Ruining Me is a high-stakes billionaire enemies-to-lovers romance filled with corporate warfare, emotional tension, shocking betrayals, hidden truths, and a love that begins with hatred but could become the greatest risk either of them has ever taken.
