The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating (and Other War Crimes) (Guides to Villainy and Love Book 1)

Kazimir Blackrose, a Dark Lord, kidnaps Lady Arabella to force her into marriage, believing he needs her heroic bloodline to achieve ultimate dominion. He expects obedience, but Arabella—who has survived her father's tower prison and a lifetime of being treated as property—responds with a knife to his throat and demands of her own. Arabella agrees to the marriage on her terms: freedom within his fortress, his hands kept to himself, and complete honesty about his plans. When those plans go awry, Kazimir must attempt to date his own wife. Between magical training sessions, playing golf with the eyeballs of his enemies, and aphrodisiac dinners gone wrong, his villainous seduction attempts repeatedly fail. As Kazimir and Arabella navigate magical explosions and jealous exes, they discover they may be falling for each other—a prospect more terrifying than war or magical catastrophe. The story features a morally gray antihero, a strong heroine who embraces her dark side, forced marriage and proximity, dark humor, and explicit content.
