INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Leather and Lark, the second book in the Fiction series The Ruinous Love Trilogy by Brynne Weaver, is an instant #1 New York Times Bestseller and continues the thrilling saga that began with the TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird.

In this installment, we follow Lachlan Kane, a contract killer seeking a quiet life in his leather studio, trying to escape his traumatic past. When a job goes awry, Lachlan finds himself trapped in the underworld until he receives a peculiar offer from the spirited Lark Montague. She promises to secure his freedom in exchange for his skills in hunting down a killer but there s a catch: he must marry her first.

Lark, an indie singer-songwriter, is the light to Lachlan s darkness, and their initial disdain for each other only adds to the tension. Despite Lachlan s view of Lark as a privileged princess, Lark harbors her own secrets. With her best friend s happiness and her family's chaos hanging in the balance, Lark agrees to the unconventional deal, setting the stage for a tumultuous union.

As their fake marriage begins to blur with reality, Lachlan and Lark must navigate their dark world together, contending with both familiar dangers and a new, bloodthirsty threat.

Leather and Lark delivers on its promise of hate-to-love romance, marriage of convenience, and a gripping narrative filled with danger and heat. The book is a compelling continuation of the Ruinous Love Trilogy, offering readers a mix of tropes like "grumpy / sunshine," "he falls first," and "groveling, but make it psycho."
