Ruby's quiet life shatters the night she meets Christian—charismatic, intense, and impossible to resist. What begins as electric attraction spirals into raw passion, dangerous secrets, and a web of betrayal involving his enigmatic friends.
When a night out turns nightmarish, Ruby is plunged into a nightmare of drugs, manipulation, and violence that leaves her fighting for survival. As truths unravel and loyalties fracture, she must decide who she can trust—and whether love can survive the darkest desires.
Craving Ruby is a gripping erotic thriller packed with scorching heat, heart-pounding suspense, and twists that will leave you breathless.
Four souls bound by desire, deception, and darkness
Quiet, studious, and raised to be independent. Ruby's sheltered world cracks wide open the night she meets Christian. What starts as an intoxicating awakening pulls her into a world she was never meant to see—where desire and danger wear the same face.
Tattooed, blue-eyed, and impossible to pin down. He appears like a dream and vanishes like smoke—leaving yellow tulips and unanswered questions in his wake. His black F250, his penthouse, his vague talk of the "service industry." Every answer raises ten more questions, but his touch makes you stop asking.
Bastian. Blonde locks, easy smile, and always buying the drinks. Christian says stay away. Lisa doesn't trust him. But Sebastian is patient, attentive, and always there when Christian isn't. The question is—why? And by the time you find out, it may already be too late.
Statuesque, soft-spoken, and always on the periphery. Andrew sits in the same class, offers cryptic warnings, and watches everything with a calm that borders on unnerving. "Looks are deceiving," he tells Ruby. What he means by that—and how far his loyalty truly runs—will change everything.
