The Ruinous Love Trilogy: Book 1

Discover a friends-to-lovers dark romantic comedy filled with murder, chaos, and spice like nothing you've experienced before. In every serial killer's story, there must be a companion. And in every game, there must be a victor.

A chance encounter ignites an unexpected connection between rival murderers Sloane and Rowan, leading them to discover a rare and precious bond—a friendship with a kindred, dark soul. Traveling from small-town West Virginia to upscale California, from downtown Boston to rural Texas, these two hunters clash in a yearly game of bloodshed and agony, facing off against the most dangerous creatures in the nation.

As their friendship transforms into something deeper, the haunting specters of their past victims lurk close by, eager to take more than just their blossoming love. Can Rowan and Sloane escape the depths of this deadly game, or have they finally met their match?

Butcher & Blackbird serves as the inaugural installment in the Ruinous Love trilogy, a series of interconnected standalone dark romantic comedies. This novel, told from two distinct perspectives, culminates in a happily-ever-after ending.

Intended for a mature audience, Butcher & Blackbird is a dark romance that may contain triggering content—please refer to Brynne's website for a detailed list of warnings.
