Some loves don' t end. They wait.
Nineteen-year-old Ellie Ioannides is a Greek Londoner with a future already written for her, graduate, enter her powerful family' s shipping empire, and become exactly what she has been trained to be. Success is expected. Love is not.
What Ellie cannot control are the memories.
They arrive without warning, scents, places, and sensations that do not belong to her life, yet feel achingly familiar. As they grow stronger, they pull her toward Alex Rodocanachi, once her tutor, now a formidable shipping magnate known for his discipline and authority. When they reunite after her university graduation, their connection ignites with an intensity that feels dangerous, obsessive, and impossible to ignore.
But their story does not exist in one timeline alone.
In 1899 Greece, under a brutal feudal system, a rebellious young woman defies class, power, and custom to love Orpheas, a ruthless heir who would do anything to claim her. Their love is intimate, consuming, and unfinished, its consequences buried, but not erased.
The past and present collide when Ellie discovers an antique ring in Alex' s home, engraved with the words To Sophia, with fire forever.
Now Ellie must choose.
Success means claiming the life she was promised.
Love means surrendering to one her soul remembers, a love that once destroyed her.
If she chooses wrong, she won' t just lose this man. She will lose herself. And she will be condemned to repeat the same cycle of obsession, power, and fate across lifetimes until it consumes everything she builds.
The Thread Ruby is an emotionally intense romance for mature readers, spanning modern London and historical Greece, a story of forbidden love, memory, power, and the devastating cost of loving across lifetimes.
