He's a neurotic serial killer. She's his sweet, innocent maid. Or...is she?
Marlowe Spencer-Astor is a killer in crisis. It's been one hundred seventy-four days since his last murder, and not even therapy-forced upon him by his overbearing mother-can reignite his bloodlust. But then he stumbles upon Minnie. She's filthy, half-starved and homeless.
She's the one. The perfect victim. His missing muse.
There's just one problem-he can't seem to kill her.
Instead, Marlowe hires her as his maid, convincing himself that he's merely biding his time, perfecting his plan. But the longer she stays, the stranger things become.
Time stands still. Technology glitches. Every man who lays eyes on her is instantly bewitched-including Marlowe himself.
He tells himself he hates her, that she triggers every neurosis he has. But the truth is far more disturbing: he wants to protect her, take care of her and kill anyone who dares covet what's his.
By the time Marlowe realizes that Minnie is far more than she seems, he becomes embroiled in an ancient war between gods and demons. And when the most powerful god in the universe sets his sights on his Minnie, Marlowe is faced with an impossible choice: walk away and survive... or fight for the woman he was never supposed to want.
Even if it means damning himself for eternity...
of Ice and Villains is a dark fantasy romance featuring a DARK AND OBSESSIVE HERO. Please only read if you're comfortable with this. It's the first book in the House of Cryos trilogy and was previously known as Mayhem and Minnie.
