Ethan Frost returns in the breathtaking conclusion to New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff’s seductive novel Ruined—perfect for fans of Release Me and Bared to You.
As Chloe Girard discovers, there’s love . . . and then there’s addiction.
Ethan Frost is everything a woman could want in a man. He’s rich, gorgeous, powerful, one of the most eligible bachelors in the world.
But that’s not why I’m with him.
I love Ethan for all the things no one else gets to see: his innate kindness, his reckless spontaneity, his unwavering determination to use his brilliance for good. I love the way he looks at me, the way he touches me. The way he makes me forget the wreckage of my past and the twisted fear that still lives inside me.
But sometimes it terrifies me how much I crave him, how much I need him just to breathe. I always thought it would be my past that ruined us, but there’s a darkness in Ethan I never dreamed existed. Can we survive as his secrets surface—threatening to unravel us both?
Excerpt:
“What is that?” I demand, staring at the huge
box Ethan is carting into my apartment the following Saturday morning. He’s here early
because we’re supposed to be going to the VA hospital today to visit some of
the soldiers, and then on to a museum or two at Balboa Park. I thought we’d
leave right after he got here, but by the look of that box, now I’m not so
sure.
“It’s a Vitamix,” he says with a grin, all
blinding white teeth and innocent blue eyes. “I noticed when I was here the
other day that yours had gone MIA.”
“MIA. I suppose that’s one way to put it,” Tori
calls from her spot on the couch.
“Stop!” I hiss at her behind Ethan’s back, but he
turns at the last minute and catches me glaring at her with narrowed eyes.
“Am I missing something?” he asks, eyebrows
arched.
“Just about four hundred dollars, I’d say.” Tori smirks. “Are those things insurable?”
“Umm, probably. Why?”
“No reason,” I tell him, pressing a kiss to his
cheek as
he plops the box down on the counter, then does the same with the three Whole Foods bags he has dangling
from his wrists. “Tori’s just super clumsy, so she has an obsession with
insuring everything.”
My roommate chokes on her orange juice. “Yeah,
that’s what did the Vitamix in. My clumsiness. Not, say, your prowess with a
hammer.”
Ethan glances at me in amusement. “Do I even want
to know what happened to that poor blender?”
I think about it for a second, then shake my head.
“No, probably not.”
“That’s what I figured.”
He starts unpacking the groceries, and it’s my
turn to be amused as he piles fruit, vegetables and a couple nice cheeses on
the counter.
“Tori and I are capable of feeding ourselves, you
know.”
“Hey, speak for yourself.” Tori wanders in and grabs an apple from one
of the bags. “If a handsome man wants to bring me food, I am more than happy
to let him. Oh, and, Ethan, for future reference, Gala apples are my favorite.”
He grins at her. “I’ll remember that.”
“Please do.”
I roll my eyes. “He’s not going to be buying us
any more groceries, Tori.”
“Why not? It makes him feel good and it saves us
the trouble of going to the store and having to cart a bunch of bags up to the
apartment. I say it’s a win-win situation for everyone.”
“You would.”
“So, who wants a smoothie?” Ethan asks, unpacking
the new blender and rinsing it out in the sink as Tori wanders back to her spot on the couch.
“Are we seriously going to do this again?” I ask
him, wrapping my arms around his waist and pressing kisses between his shoulder
blades.
“Do what?” he asks innocently, as if he doesn’t
know.
“Fight about this totally extravagant gift that
you insist on giving me a second time.”
“Tori, please explain to your roommate that a
blender is not an extravagant gift. It’s actually quite practical—a good
breakfast is very important.”
“I can have a good breakfast without making it in
a very extravagant, four hundred dollar blender!” I tell him, completely
exasperated.
“Again. Not extravagant, Chloe. A car is an
extravagant gift. A trip to Paris is an extravagant gift. A—”
“Forty thousand dollar platinum and diamond belly chain
from Tiffany’s is an extravagant gift,” Tori continues for him. “But not a
blender, Chloe. Geez, you need to chill out.”
But the blender is now the least of my worries. “Forty
thousand dollars?” I squawk, my hands going to the jewelry I haven’t taken off
since the night we had our talk. “My belly chain cost forty thousand dollars?”
Ethan shoots my roommate a dirty look. “Thanks a
lot, Tori.”
She shrugs, then takes a bite of her apple. “At
least she’s not bitching about the blender anymore. Perspective, man. Perspective.”
Loving Addicted. Isn't Chloe a red-head? She was in Ruined, but in the limo scene with Ethan she is blonde. Distracting since her hair was almost a character in the first book.
