Sacred Ruin: A Dark MM Obsessive Stalker Romance
Bella Vasquez
"What is broken belongs to the one who will not let it shatter."
Noah Cole spends his days recovering what other people have tried to erase. As an art conservator, he lives buried in ancient manuscripts and the lingering grief of his brother’s unsolved murder. He works alone, late into the night, believing his life is nothing but the quiet of his studio.
He doesn’t know he’s being watched.
Casimir Vane operates in the shadows of stolen art recovery and private intelligence. For eleven months, he has studied Noah’s every move. He knows his routines, his weaknesses, and the exact way he responds under pressure. When the same criminal syndicate that killed Noah’s brother marks him as their next target, Cas steps out of the dark to intervene.
Under the guise of a highly lucrative commission, Cas takes Noah to an isolated estate in Oxfordshire. It’s a safe haven, but it’s also a gilded cage, meticulously built to keep Noah exactly where Cas wants him.
Yet Noah isn’t the fragile pawn Cas calculated. As the operation to bring down an art mafia burns around them, the lines between captor and protector, manipulation and obsession, begin to blur. They were supposed to be the strategist and the bait.
But in the dark, the rules change.
