Description for He Will Be My Ruin: A Novel
Paperback. K.A. Tucker makes her suspense debut with this sexy, heart pounding story of a young woman determined to find justice after her best friend's death. Num Pages: 352 pages. BIC Classification: FH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 209 x 134 x 22. Weight in Grams: 273.
Twenty-eight-year-old Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up what's left of her best friend's belongings after a suicide that has left everyone stunned. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a bottle of Xanax and a handle of vodka, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers secrets in the childhood lock box hidden in Celine's apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man who Celine herself claimed would be her ruin. On the hunt for answers that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine's private life-and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.

About K.A. Tucker
Born in small-town Ontario, Kathleen A. Tucker published her first book at the age of six with the help of her elementary school librarian and a box of crayons. She is a voracious reader and the furthest thing from a genre-snob, loving everything from High Fantasy to Chick Lit.
Reviews for He Will Be My Ruin: A Novel
Dark, ominous, and sexy...compelling from beginning to end.
Laura Kaye
New York Times bestselling author on Burying Water
Unique, engrossing, and heartbreaking. Burying Water is a mesmerizing read that will keep you captivated until the very last page.
Rachel Van Dyken
#1 New York Times bestselling author
Tucker deftly steers the damsel-in-(serious, nearly fatal, possibly mob-related)-distress-rescued-by-a-knight-in-shining armor storyline, making these star-crossed lovers compelling. A sexy romantic, gangster-tinged page-turner.

The Romance Reviews, TOP PICK
Praise for Surviving Ice: Surviving Ice has it all: suspense, romance, forgiveness, and second chances all rolled into one.
San Diego Book Review
Tucker is adept at spinning stories with unexpected twists and turns, but this is her most complex narrative to date. It's a book that will keep you up all night - with the lights on and the door locked, of course - until you reach the shocking, perfect conclusion. But it's also a book with an important Tucker trademark: a strong, independent female lead who is not afraid to take charge, who is not perfect - which is why she feels so real - and who is rewriting the rules about what makes books like this work so well. Tucker is a pro at delivering hot romance, but here she combines it with heart pounding suspense. The results are terrifyingly good.
Toronto Star
Captivating from beginning to end, He Will Be My Ruin is a non-stop tour of New York City, as two young friends-one dead and one desperately searching-take you from the inner sanctum of a secret garden rooftop to Manhattan's high-end world of movers and shakers. This novel will leave you breathless-I read it in a day, and it was certainly worth the ride!
