Description

God of Malice is a standalone dark romance centered on a villain's obsession. Killian Carson presents a sophisticated exterior while concealing a cold, manipulative, and savage nature. Glyndon sees the monstrous side that others fail to recognize and is caught off guard when his attention fixes on her. Fearing the potentially devastating cost of that fixation, she tries to escape, but Killian pursues her. The novel builds its central relationship around the contrast between his polished public image and the dangerous behavior beneath it, making pursuit, fear, and obsession the defining forces of the story.
