Sweet Ruin is a dark Valentine anthology featuring 14 twisted tales by 12 hauntingly brilliant authors, all bound together by one deceptively innocent tradition… the heart-shaped chocolate box. Behind every satin ribbon and glossy lid lurks obsession, betrayal, revenge, and desire sharpened into something dangerous. Love isn’t always sweet—sometimes it’s fatal. From whispered promises to deadly secrets, these stories prove that romance can rot, passion can poison, and the prettiest gifts often hide the darkest intentions. Open the box… if you dare.
