Ruining Everything: A Best-Friends-To-Lovers Spicy Romance

Ruining Everything is a tender, steamy love story about choosing yourself… and choosing the person who’s been your home all along.

MAYA ELLIS
I didn’t just run away from my wedding; I ran from a future that felt wrong in every direction.
And the person I ran to? My best friend.
The boy who once held my secrets, my late-night fears, my whole heart without even knowing it.
Noah Grant lets me crash in his New York apartment “just until I figure things out,” but everything inside those four walls feels like a temptation I have no business wanting.
His shirts on my skin.
His eyes on me like he’s been starving.
And the way one reckless kiss turns into hands on my hips, mouths pressed to skin, and a want I can’t outrun.
We said we wouldn’t cross the line. We promised not to ruin our friendship.
But every night with him makes me wonder what would happen if we do.

NOAH GRANT

I’ve loved Maya quietly for years — the kind of love that aches, the kind you bury because losing her would destroy you.

But the moment she shows up at my door days before her wedding, everything inside me breaks loose.

She’s sleeping in my bed.

Laughing in my kitchen.

Looking at me like she’s finally seeing everything I’ve tried to hide.

And when she kisses me, it isn’t a mistake. It’s the truth we’ve both been running from.

We’re trying to protect the friendship that built our whole lives, but wanting her has never felt like a choice. If telling her how I feel means ruining everything, then ruin has never looked so perfect.
