Villainous Rise

I am the only monster allowed in your life. You are mine.

Annie Bishop survived the worst betrayal of her life. She spent three months burying her broken heart behind strict professional rules and maintaining her distance. Now her bosses are forcing her into a highly publicized fake relationship with a manipulative hero. She has to smile for the cameras while her autonomy is stripped away.

Cipher never actually walked away. The city's most lethal Villain has been tracking her every move. He knows he ruined everything between them. Seeing another man put hands on the woman he loves ignites a possessive rage he refuses to contain.

Cipher plans to tear apart her carefully ordered world and destroy the hero parading her around. He will force Annie to admit she still craves his violent brand of devotion.

Annie wants to hate him. She tries to fight the pull. But the only thing more dangerous than a Villain who breaks your heart is one willing to slaughter anyone who stands in the way of getting you back.
