Scythe & Sparrow (The Ruinous Love, 3)

Description

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver is Book 3 in The Ruinous Love Trilogy series, bringing the bestselling dark romantic comedy series to its conclusion with a story of unexpected attraction, emotional healing and dangerous secrets.

Doctor Fionn Kane is determined to leave his broken heart behind. After a failed relationship and a derailed surgical career, he retreats to small-town Nebraska in search of a quieter life. His plan is simple: focus on his work, avoid romantic complications and forget everything he left behind in Boston.

But his carefully ordered world is disrupted when Rose Evans arrives in town.

A motorcycle performer with the Silveria Circus, Rose has spent the past decade travelling from place to place, embracing a life of freedom and adventure. Behind her daring performances, however, lies a darker side. When she isn’t entertaining crowds, Rose occasionally indulges in murder.

After a killing goes wrong and leaves her with a broken leg, Rose finds herself stranded in Nebraska and recovering at the home of the town’s unexpectedly charming doctor.

Fionn has sworn off relationships, while Rose has never been interested in settling down. Yet their growing attraction makes it increasingly difficult to maintain those boundaries.

As their arrangement becomes more complicated, both must confront the emotional wounds and dangerous secrets they have tried to leave behind. Because some hearts are harder to mend than others, and the longer Rose stays in one place, the more likely her past is to catch up with her.

Blending dark humour, suspense, romance and emotional vulnerability, Scythe & Sparrow delivers a friends-with-benefits love story filled with murder, mayhem and unexpected tenderness.
