The first book in the dark romance Legacy of Gods spin-off series from the New York Times, USA Today, international, and Amazon #1 bestselling author.

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.

I've always been the golden boy. A genius law student, the heir to my family's empire, and a dutiful son.

Or, at least, that's what everyone thinks. Inside, I want to set the world on fire.

So I let myself indulge in the mayhem for one night. Which was enough to get caught by a villain.

A villain who just so happens to be my new professorβ€”Kayden Lockwood. A criminal teaching criminal law.

I can't expose what Kayden has done without unmasking my secret life. But I can force him to taste his own poison.

In a clash of titans, Kayden and I soon break and crumble.

Until we're stuck in a dangerous game where there will be no winners...

Kiss the Villain is a dark MM romance. Please check the author's note 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.

About the Author

Rina Kent is a New York Times, USA Today, international and No. 1 Amazon bestselling author of everything enemies-to-lovers romance. She's known to write unapologetic anti-heroes and villains because she often fell in love with men no one roots for herself. Her books are sprinkled with a touch of darkness, a pinch of angst and an unhealthy dose of intensity. She spends her private days in London laughing like an evil mastermind about adding mayhem to her expanding universe. When she's not writing, Rina travels, hikes and spoils cats in a pure Cat-Lady fashion.
