Prince Carrington lives by rules.
Never lose control.
Never chase a woman.
Never fall in love.
As the owner of Repitâne, one of the city’s most exclusive high-end restaurants, Prince has built an empire on discipline, legacy, and ruthless standards. Women come and go, business stays clean, and his heart stays locked behind rules he has no intention of breaking.
Then Serenity Valez walks into his restaurant under a fake reservation and makes him forget every warning sign.
She’s beautiful, clever, dangerous, and gone by morning.
So is his cash.
So are private business files.
And so is the vintage watch passed down from his great-grandfather, the one thing money could never replace.
Prince should want revenge. Instead, he wants answers. Serenity didn’t rob him for sport. She’s trapped in a debt scheme threatening her younger sister, and the people using her have their eyes set on something bigger than a watch. They want Repitâne, Prince’s family legacy, and the clean reputation he bled to build.
Now Prince and Serenity are forced into a dangerous game of stolen documents, dirty money, family betrayal, and desire neither one of them can control.
She lives by her own code.
Take before you’re taken from.
Trust no man with power.
Never stay long enough to be owned.
But Prince isn’t letting her run.
And Serenity may be the one woman ruthless enough to make him break his first rule.
Rules of a Ruthless Heart is a steamy enemies-to-lovers urban romance packed with betrayal, high-stakes drama, family secrets, luxury, danger, and a love neither of them saw coming.
