From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a scorching standalone professor/student dark MM romance set in the world of Legacy of Gods.
My darkness meets a darker soul.
I'm a golden boy.
A genius law student, the heir to the Carson empire, and the dutiful son.
Or, at least, that's what it looks like from the outside.
Deep inside, I have the urge to set the world on fire.
I keep these impulses in check, rarely indulging in mayhem.
Until one night of debauchery backfires, and I'm caught by a villain.
I bury the entire ordeal with the rest of my skeletons.
That is, until that night walks into my classroom in the form of my new professor.
Kayden Lockwood.
A criminal who's teaching criminal law.
I can't expose what he's done without unmasking my secret life.
What I can do, however, is force him to taste the poison he gave me.
In the clash of titans, Kayden and I break and crumble.
And I'm starting to realize this dangerous game may have no winners.
Delicious tropes:
- Dark MM romance
- Professor/student
- Forbidden, morally gray romance
- Enemies to lovers
Obsessed readers:
I'm simply weak for unhinged and possessive characters, and that was Gareth and Kayden to a tee.-- ★★★★★ Goodreads
There are a lot of twists and turns, secrets and hurdles....but I loved most of all that at the core, this is a story of two men finding themselves in each other.-- ★★★★★ Amazon
Not sure if I consumed [this book] or the other way around.-- ★★★★★ Goodreads
Their dynamic was everything--intense, possessive, and filled with an understanding that went beyond words.-- ★★★★★ Amazon
Kiss the Villain is a dark MM romance. Please check the author's note or visit the website for content warnings before diving in. While this book can be enjoyed as a standalone, diving into the Legacy of Gods series will give you a deeper connection to the characters.
