We’re going green for my villain era 😍💚 I’m absolutely obsessed with these stunning covers and even more in love with Kayden, Gareth, and their intense love story! Kiss the Villain is an MM Legacy of Gods spinoff and can be read as a standalone, but you’ll have way more fun if you dive into God of Malice first. 💚 Blurb 💚 My darkness meets a darker soul. I’m a golden boy. A genius law student, the heir to the Carson empire, and the dutiful son. Or, at least, that's what it looks like from the outside. Deep inside, I have the urge to set the world on fire. I keep these impulses in check, rarely indulging in mayhem. Until one night of debauchery backfires, and I'm caught by a villain. I bury the entire ordeal with the rest of my skeletons. That is, until that night walks into my classroom in the form of my new professor. Kayden Lockwood. A criminal who’s teaching criminal law. I can't expose what he's done without unmasking my secret life. What I can do, however, is force him to taste the poison he gave me. In the clash of titans, Kayden and I break and crumble. And I'm starting to realize this dangerous game may have no winners. #rinakent #Rinaverse #kissthevillain #legacyofgods #mmbooktok
When I first started writing this series, I never thought it'd be my most loved work yet. Thank you for everything ❤️😭 Pictures of the set that we'll start shipping next week so don't scroll if you don't want spoilers. These are no longer available for sale. We have a very limited overstock that we'll offer after all orders ship. Keep an eye out on my IG stories for when it goes live. And yes, we'll offer the letters later on separately but with a different design since these are exclusive to the set. #rinakent #Rinaverse #legacyofgods #BookTok
Thank you all for making this release such a phenomenal success 😭 I’m absolutely in awe of how you pushed this baby up all the charts and how you still continue to show Gareth & Kayden so much love. Thank you for loving these two as much as I do. Thank you for always showing up and for the continuous support. Stay tuned for lots of exciting news ❤️ #rinakent #rinaverse #kissthevillain #legacyofgods
Kiss the Villain’s full audio teaser! Yes, it’s full cast. Yes, Teddy & Shane will play Niko & Bran again, which means there’s a little sneak peek into Niko and Bran with Gareth and Kayden. Ahh I’m so excited 😍😍 There’s no audio pre-order yet. I’ll post links when it’s live! #rinakent #Rinaverse #kissthevillain #legacyofgods #mmbooktok
HEADPHONES ON ✨ The audiobook is up for pre-order on Audible, Amazon & iTunes 🎉 This audiobook was perfect experience. That’s all I’m going to say 😍 #rinakent #Rinaverse #legacyofgods #kissthevillain
PSA to my UK peeps! LOG is available at Waterstones! 😍 Let me tell you that when I saw God of Malice on the shelves of Waterstones the other day, I had a little emotional moment and kind of retreated to not freak out the book girlies who were grabbing it 😂 Thank you for everything ❤️ #rinakent #Rinaverse #legacyofgods #ukbooktok
Gareth was one of the most complex, neediest characters I’ve ever written. My heart did a small thud whenever he showed his vulnerability and neediness with Kayden. And my favorite part is that Kay loved it. He accepted it. He let him be himself. He was the perfect anchor to Gareth’s chaos, and Gareth was the perfect light to Kayden’s darkness. They’re each other’s match in every sense of the word. Their dynamic is one of my favorite things ever. While I was writing them, I got inspired with lots of upcoming story ideas and gave my muse wings. I was hit by some characters who wouldn’t shut up for a second 😂 I’m so grateful to everyone who read, rated, and reviewed this book and made it such a success. I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but truly, your support means so much to me 💚 #rinakent #rinaverse #kissthevillain #legacyofgods
You can find these beauties in your local bookstores today. This series means so much to me and I’m so ecstatic to see it everywhere 🩷 #rinakent #rinaverse #legacyofgods
I swear I will cry when I see pictures. Not even kidding 😭 I’m holding the UK version but the North American version is also coming on the same day with ✨sprayed edges✨ #rinakent #Rinaverse #legacyofgods #BookTok #godoffury
Happy release day to Gareth, Kayden and everyone who's been eagerly waiting for these explosive two 🔥 They possessed me and destroyed me in the best ways possible and l'm so excited you guys get to meet them as well. It feels so good to be back to the Legacy of Gods world. It's like going back home 🥰 Happy reading/listening 💚 #rinakent #rinaverse #kissthevillain #legacyofgods #BookTok
Here we go! Kiss the Villain is officially turning into a full series of interconnected standalones! 🎉 The Villain Series will be a Legacy of Gods spinoff featuring male x male couples. The entire series' print editions will be published by Bloom in North America and Penguin UK/Evermore in the UK, Europe, and Australia. ⚠️ Due to this, the currently published Kiss the Villain paperbacks will be unpublished on April 9, so this is your last chance to grab them! (This doesn’t affect the eBook or audiobook.) Listen, this was only supposed to be one book, but my muse had other plans. While writing Gareth and Kayden, two other couples decided to crash the party. Vaughn, for instance, was never supposed to get a book since he didn’t speak to me. Then he met Yulian, and suddenly, they were yelling at me with full-blown chemistry. So I was like 👀 “Okay then. Let’s do this.” More Info: ✨ Kiss the Villain will be re-released in bookstores worldwide on August 26, 2025. ✨ The North American version will include a deluxe and exclusive edition (More details coming tomorrow!) ✨ Both Kiss the Villain and Hunt the Villain trad paperbacks are available for pre-order now. ✨ Hunt the Villain will release on March 24, 2026. ✨ Crave the Villain is expected to be released in 2027. You’ll meet this book’s couple in Hunt the Villain. ✨ The eBook editions will be in Kindle Unlimited worldwide. Let the villain era continue 💚 #rinakent #rinaverse #legacyofgods #BookTok
Poor Gareth had so many crises 🤣 Cover & blurb are coming on Monday! Can you guess the color? 👀 #rinakent #Rinaverse #kissthevillain #legacyofgods #mmbooktok
Writing Gareth as a hardcore praise-needing man wasn’t on my bingo card but it was just so natural and made complete sense with the rest of his character. He’s just a baby 🥹 (aside from all the shadowy activities 🤣) #rinakent #rinaverse #kissthevillain #legacyofgods
