Assistant to the Villain (Book 1)
Files
Description
This book is the first in a criminally underrated series that follows the misadventures of a woman named Evie who, out of desperation, takes a job with a unnamed Villain who lives outside her villiage. He is just that — a villain — but he is also kind to his employees, handsome, and not as bad as he could be (severed heads hanging from the ceiling notwithstanding). Evie throws herself into her work while trying not to fall for the Villain. She is great at her job — but unfortunately, not as great at resisting his charms. This series is a play on the gothic fairy tale and is a fun, easy read with characters that are naturally easy to fall in love with.
