*Ruin.*
It came when you least expected it, destroying the little peace you had left and leaving you far more broken than you ever thought imaginable.
My mom’s death was enough to shatter me, but that wasn’t the only thing that happened two years ago when my life caved in, forcing me into solitude and yet needing others by my side to not spiral further into the darkness.
I thought I was ruined.
But she never saw me that way, loving my jagged edges, caressing them into something less agonizing but still there and still every bit me.
My parents’ best friend, the one I called aunt, was there, always and forever by my side. She was everything I needed, and I was everything she loved combined into one person.
Who knew letting her in would lead us one step closer to a future worth living?
This is an FF, “aunt”/”niece”, and high heat romance where the characters battle ruin and their emotions while exploring a forbidden relationship. All CWs can be found at sullynshaw.com.

"Her Touch in Ruin: The New Beginning" is a compelling free short story that dives deep into the emotional complexities of trauma and forbidden love. As someone who has read similar romance stories with taboo themes, I found that this narrative balances intense emotional depth with sensitive storytelling. The story centers on a young woman grappling with the devastating loss of her mother and the subsequent isolation she faces, only to find unexpected solace and love in her parents' best friend—the woman she calls her aunt. The dynamics of their relationship offer a raw, heart-wrenching exploration of healing brokenness, where each character's vulnerabilities and emotional scars shape their connection. What truly sets this tale apart is its candid portrayal of trauma and recovery through a taboo lens, which is handled with care rather than sensationalism. For readers who appreciate FF (female-female) romance and themes of trauma and redemption, this story offers a unique glimpse into how love can emerge in even the darkest circumstances. Additionally, the story being part of a series provides a rich context for character development and deeper immersion. The author’s inclusion of content warnings upfront shows respect for readers’ boundaries, making it accessible to those who seek thoughtful yet intense romance narratives. For anyone intrigued by taboo romance, trauma narratives, or FF relationships with emotional complexity, "Her Touch in Ruin" is a highly recommended read. The free availability at sullynshaw.com/book-list adds ease of access, encouraging exploration of this niche genre and its potent storytelling. Overall, this story helped me reflect on how love and connection can be transformative forces after ruin, and highlighted the importance of embracing all facets of one’s emotional self—even the jagged, imperfect edges.
