Queen of Ruin, Book 2 Kingmaker Trilogy Audiobook

Queen of Ruin by Paula Dombrowiak is a steamy contemporary billionaire and political romance and book two in the Kingmaker Trilogy. This edition is an audiobook with AI duet narration by Joanne and Markus. The trilogy should be read in order.

Marrying billionaire Darren Walker was supposed to be just business.



A simple deal. No feelings involved.

If only it were that easy.

I thought he was nothing more than a spoiled, reckless playboy—a man born into privilege with no real ambition. But the more time I spend with him, the more I see the truth. Darren is brilliant. Compassionate. A man who fights for what he believes in and refuses to be defined by his family’s legacy.

He makes me want things I can’t have. A future I can’t claim. Because a woman like me—with a past I can never outrun—doesn’t belong in his world.

And when he tells me he loves me, I wish things could be different.

But love won’t be enough to save us.

Because if I stay, I won’t be his salvation.

I’ll be his Queen of Ruin. And the only way to save him… is to walk away.

For readers who love:

💔 A marriage built on lies that turns into something worth saving

💔 A woman finding her voice in a world that once silenced her

💔 A man who’d burn an empire to protect the woman he loves

💔 Political intrigue, forbidden desire, and redemption that cuts deep

💔 And the kind of love story that shatters, rebuilds, and refuses to break

Queen of Ruin is the second book in The Kingmaker trilogy, a steamy marriage of convenience romance full of political scandal. The books must be read in order for the best reader experience. This book does end in a cliffhanger.
