Villainous Intent
About
"You don't read about romance. You look for the villains."
Annie Bishop has one rule she's never broken: never fall for a Super. She's spent her life managing monsters from a safe, professional distance—filing their paperwork, cataloging their sins, never once crossing the line that separates duty from desire.
Then he catches her mid-fall, and the line stops existing.
Cipher is Chroma Bay's most brilliant, most merciless villain—and he's decided Annie belongs to him. What starts as a punishment, a forced arrangement to save his reputation, becomes something far more dangerous: a man who studies her like a puzzle, who maps every secret hidden beneath her polished exterior, who promises to ruin her for anyone else.
She should run.
She stays.
Because Annie has secrets of her own—the kind that could get her killed, the kind she's kept locked away since the night her family died. And the man obsessed with unraveling her might be the only one dangerous enough to keep her safe.
Or dangerous enough to be the reason she doesn't survive what's coming.
Villainous Intent is a dark, obsessive romance about the monsters we choose—and the ones we become to keep them.
He was never going to save her. She never asked him to.
