Ruby Tears: Alternative Cover - Paperback

by Pepper Winters (Author)

★★★★★ This series should be a mandatory read for any lover of dark romance. - Book Bistro Blog

"I met a man I hoped could be the one. But he turned out to be the beast who ruins me..."

I'm the illegitimate son of a monster.
I truly have the devil inside.
I try to be good.
To ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges.
But every day, it gets harder.
To prove to myself that I'm not completely damned, I attempt to infiltrate a trafficking ring to save all those trapped within it.
Only problem is, I meet her on the night of my initiation.
I'm given a task to take her, steal her, train her.
She sparkles like diamonds, bleeds like rubies, and bruises as deep as emeralds.
She's mine to break.
I can't refuse.
I beg her to play along with me.
To help me stay human.
To act with me in a performance where we both might survive.
Yet the more we pretend, the more real it becomes, and I have a horrible feeling the only one who will be breaking...is me.

Triggers on every warning possible.
This is dark, explicit, and will push every possible boundary that exists.
Be warned....
To all those dark souls out there...welcome to The Jewelry Box

Reviews:

★★★★★ There are two authors that have the ability to render my brain mush with anxiety, dread, and ultimately a large amount of intrigue. And Pepper is one of them. The way she laid the foundation for what I know will be my next favorite dark romance tale just proves how talented she is. -- I am Booked

★★★★★ How can I articulate how much I loved this book? I don't think I can find words to do it justice. Beneath all the rawness, dark aspects and suffering, this story is captivating, overwhelming and hauntingly beautiful.-- Jennii The Book Addict

★★★★★ This book just blew my mind. An emotionally challenging read, addictive writing and morally graphite-grey characters that play with boundaries of morality are hallmarks of Pepper. Pulling you in with gravitational force you will be left astounded, heartbroken, maybe sick at some parts, but you won't escape unscathed & unaffected. This series should be a mandatory read for any lover of dark romance. Nobody ...and I mean NOBODY can create more complex characters with bottomless pits for souls, like she can. -- Book Bistro Blog

★★★★★ Back to her roots...Pepper Winters starts off a new series full of depravity. Dark and sexy...I can tell this series will not be for the faint of heart, and, most likely, if you have ANY triggers, it will not be for you. If you enjoy sexiness and a shopping list of trigger warnings...then this will be right up your alley. - Danielle and Her S*** Books
