Villainous Claim

Annie Bishop spent three months hiding a broken heart behind strict professional rules after the worst betrayal of her life.

Now her bosses are pushing her into a highly publicized fake relationship with a manipulative hero, and she is expected to smile for the cameras while her autonomy is taken from her.

Cipher, the city's most lethal Villain, never truly walked away; he has been tracking her every move and knows he destroyed what they once had.

Seeing another man put his hands on the woman he loves ignites a possessive rage he refuses to contain, and he intends to tear apart her carefully ordered world while destroying the hero parading her around.

Annie wants to hate him and fights the pull, yet Cipher means to force her to admit she still craves his violent devotion.

Nothing is more dangerous than a Villain willing to slaughter anyone who stands between him and taking her back.
