Information about Ruthless Devotion:

Once upon a time a little boy gave a little girl a special valentine. 

But she rejected him because he was the weird kid. I was that little girl, and I shouldn’t still be paying for that rejection, but I am. 

As time went on his fixation with me only grew stronger. He was always there in the shadows.

Watching.

Waiting. 

And now he’s the powerful heir of a crime syndicate. My father owes him a lot of money and says I must marry him to save our family from destruction.

When we were children Aidan said he would marry me someday, but I knew he couldn’t if I said no. I was very wrong about that. 

My life as I know it is over, but my captivity to this ruthless man has just begun.

Warning: This is a dark Beauty and the Beast retelling with a heroine who has boundaries, trauma, and every reason not to fall headfirst for the morally gray man obsessed with her. Like Belle, she won’t be instantly soft, forgiving, or submissive. The Beast must earn her trust and atone for the harm he’s caused. If you want an easy, instant-love romance with a heroine who must be immediately “understanding of her captor” to be likeable, this isn’t your book.


Note: This is a dark stalker romance with organized crime and a forced marriage. This is a standalone with a guaranteed HEA. 

What Readers are Saying

The easiest 5 star I have ever given!” -Faiza Daudo, Goodreads

Well written, engaging story and well developed characters, steamy slow burning tension building desires, violence, stalker, obsession and more” – Jenni, Goodreads

I ate this up! Loved the Jane Austen garden and Medusa statue. One of the better stalker romances I’ve read if you like those.” – Jessica Jang, Goodreads

Aidan is, hands down, the most enjoyable thing in the book. He’s an incredibly complex, conflicted man, and, despite everything he is and does, there’s a chivalrous, romantic soul buried deep inside him. I absolutely adored him and wanted Maddie to give him a chance. His love for her was absolute, and that love was the center of his world.” -Anij, Goodreads

If dark romance with obsession, danger, and just the right touch of chaos is your thing, Ruthless Devotion is a must-read. Aidan is intense, unhinged in the best way, and completely fixated on Maddie—yet somehow, you can’t help falling for him.”-Booksnliftsdiary, Goodreads

Dark, Twisted, and Addictively Compelling.” – Good Booking Girl, Goodreads

Maddie is strong, she is smart, and I love her. I’ll be honest I was not sure how Kitty Thomas was gonna get me on team Aiden but she did! I can’t wait to read more from this author!” – Katlyn, Goodreads
