Before I Ruin Us

Ari’s life looks solid from the outside: a devoted husband, a respected career, and a circle she trusts. But when desire creeps into places it doesn’t belong, the lines between love, loyalty, and temptation begin to blur. Her marriage to Daron is rooted in stability and trust. His lifelong friendship with Fendi—confident, magnetic, and unwavering—was never supposed to be a threat. But one night changes everything, and Ari finds herself chasing excitement while trying to protect the life she’s built. As jealousy sharpens and secrets multiply, Ari tests boundaries that were never meant to bend. Each choice pulls her deeper into a web of self-sabotage, forcing everyone involved to confront what they’re willing to forgive—and what they can’t ignore. Before I Ruin Us is a raw, emotionally charged novel about desire, power, and the quiet ways we unravel our own happiness before we realize what’s at stake.
