Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud
viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an
Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.
ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal,
levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff
for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion
a must. Excellent benefits.
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just
important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous
Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is
perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on
your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find
evil so attractive, Evie.
But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the
ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie
suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind.
Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and
someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.
Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure
out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay.
After all, a good job is hard to find.
A deadly prison. A forbidden romance. A fight for survival.
THERE’S ONLY ONE RULE IN ENDLOCK: OBEY OR DIE.
In Dividium, all crimes are punishable by life in prison. A prison
that’s a life sentence in more ways than one. Where the wealthy can
hunt the inmates for sport.
Raven’s mission is simple: infiltrate the infamous and deadly Endlock
Prison to save her brother.
There’s just one problem: Raven has a target on her back. Her
reputation as the most ruthless bounty hunter in Dividium precedes her,
and the inmates she’s sent to Endlock want their revenge.
So when the prison guard she’s sworn to hate becomes her only chance to
survive, Raven has no choice but to trust the one person she shouldn’t…
The war is over, the dark forces have won, and the hero who was
supposed to save them is dead.
Captured as her castle is overrun by the enemy, the world as Briony
Rosewood knows it is changed forever. Evil has won, and her people face
imminent servitude, imprisonment, or death.
Stripped of her Magic and her freedom, Briony and the other survivors
are quickly sold off to the highest bidders in an auction—and as
Evermore's princess, she fetches the highest price. After a fierce
bidding war, she’s sold to none other than Toven Hearst, scion of a
family known for their cruelty.
Yet despite the horrors of her new world and the role she must learn to
play within it, all is not lost. Help—and hope—may yet arise in the
most unlikely of places…
Hallie Woods works at her dream magazine in NYC, so when she's given
her very own column, she can't believe her luck - even if it is a
little unconventional. Hallie must find and date the hottest guy on
Wall Street, trust fund, 6'5, blue eyes and all, and document every
moment of it. But as she flirts with all of the gilet clad men she can
find, there's one who keeps getting in her way.
On paper, James Rossi is the typical finance bro. But, after being
burned by an ex-girlfriend who used him for his money, he's also
fiercely protective of himself, and his friends. So when he realises
there's a girl in his favourite bar every Thursday, trying to flirt
with his colleagues as fodder for an article, he decides to sabotage
her plans.
But as Hallie and James clash week after week over their whiskey sodas,
their dislike for each other turns into something more. Hallie might
have found her man in finance, but she also has a choice to make. Will
she continue to write her article, or take a chance at true love?
Meet the Lakefront Billionaires . . .
Get ready for another addictive romance from Sunday Times bestselling
author and TikTok sensation, Lauren Asher
Rafael
Ellie Sinclair is a hopeless romantic who writes love songs.
I'm a struggling workaholic who could inspire a hundred breakup albums.
On paper, we have nothing in common except for my son.
For eight months, I avoid her until our summer trip.
Fourteen days. Two islands. And one nanny I shouldn't be attracted to.
Spending time with Ellie is expected, but enjoying her company?
That isn't part of our travel plans.
After my divorce, I swore to protect my heart at all costs.
Even if it means breaking hers in the process.
Ellie
What's worse than working for a grumpy single dad?
Admitting that I once had a secret crush on him in high school.
Thankfully, Rafael Lopez and I have changed since we graduated from
Wisteria High.
He is a billionaire with a company to run and a child to take care of.
I'm an unemployed songwriter he hired to watch his son and teach music.
We coexist without any issues until a vacation changes everything.
Lines blur and old feelings for Rafael return with vengeance as I face
a new dilemma.
Being his son's nanny is one thing, but wishing for more?
Sounds like a heartbreak song waiting to be written.
