From Booktok sensation Kira Cole, Beautifully Ruined is the second book of the Devoted in the Darkness duet, where Cade & Violet's dangerously addictive story began in Sweetly Unhinged - a brother's best friend, golden-retriever hacker romance with age gap tension and sinful heat.

VIOLET
I should be happy that Cade rescued me, but all I can think of is the girl who was being held captive with me.

I made a promise that I'd get her out of there. A promise that I intend to keep. Even if it means exposing myself, exploring desires I never even knew I had.

I tell myself that I can handle it, but how far am I willing to go for someone I barely know?

CADE
Vi is fixated on this girl. She's not going to stop until she finds her. I use every available source to try and figure out who this girl is.

Our search leads us to a forbidden club called The Dungeon. Turns out, Vi's got more fantasies hidden away than she realised, and I'm determined to help her unlock them.

I thought finding out who I really am might kill our spark, but if anything, it's burning even brighter than before.

But the thing with fire is someone always ends up getting hurt.
