From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a standalone dark MM mafia rivals romance set in the world of Legacy of Gods.

I’m hunting a monster

The first time I met Yulian Dimitriev, it was hate at first sight.
He’s brash, chaotic, and a violence-junkie.
In short, everything I disregard.
As heirs to two notorious mafia organizations, we were shoved together in an unorthodox setting.
The more I learn about Yulian, the deeper my loathing seeps.
Until I truly see the person within, and something forbidden sparks between us.
But our coexistence is cut short when tragedy strikes.
Yulian and I go back to our respective, parallel worlds that shouldn’t cross.
But they do.
And once again, I’m dragged into the orbit of a man I shouldn’t want.
Two men can’t be together in our world.
But Yulian blurs every limit I thought existed until everything is in jeopardy.
Our hearts included.

Hunt the Villain is a male x male dark college romance. This book can be read as a standalone, but for a better understanding of the world, it's recommended to read Kiss the Villain first.

Also known as Kiss The Villain Book 2.

Villain

Beneath the polished halls of power and privilege, something far darker pulses—the kind of desire that blurs boundaries, breaks rules, and builds kingdoms from ruin. Villain is not just a descent into obsession; it's a confrontation with what happens when love isn't tender, but territorial.

Set in the shadows of a brutal elite world, this slow-burn dark romance series strips away every illusion of control. The stories don’t follow heroes, but men forged by violence, haunted by legacy, and gripped by the kind of passion that turns devotion into danger. In this universe, obsession is intimate, and vulnerability is a weapon no one dares to wield openly.

Each installment spirals deeper into the tangled loyalties of those who were never meant to fall for each other. Whether it’s a brilliant law student unraveling under the weight of a volatile protector, or an heir caught in the chokehold of an enemy he can’t resist, the characters aren’t looking for redemption—they’re dragging each other into the fire, and daring the world to stop them.

Tense, seductive, and charged with emotional brutality, the Villain series explores themes of power, control, and the kind of intimacy that thrives in chaos. It’s a world where love doesn’t soften the monsters. It teaches them how to be more precise.

Perfect for readers who crave dark academia blended with mafia-infused stakes and twisted MM dynamics, this series lingers—unsettling, addictive, and impossible to forget.
