The Villain by Viv Allen (Paperback)

The Villain is the second book in Viv Allen’s Built to Break series, a high-heat, enemies-to-lovers, captive/captor dark MM romance.

After falling from his criminal kingpin throne, Devlin knows his days are numbered. So he can’t say he’s altogether surprised when masked strangers snatch him off the street, throw a bag over his head and toss him into the boot of a car. Handcuffed in a dark room, he finds himself face to face with his abductor: a mountain of a man who claims Devlin killed his father. What Devlin expects next is pain. What he doesn’t expect is to be quite so drawn to his captor, a man who oozes power from every pore.

Cian has a green-eyed devil chained in his shed, and he hates him. So why can’t he stop putting his hands on the man? With every day Devlin stays alive, Cian’s crew grows more restless that he hasn’t yet avenged his father, their former leader. But there are snakes in his ranks and rivals circling his territory, and when Cian is betrayed, it’s Devlin, of all people, who saves him. Suddenly, keeping him alive and by his side feels like the most important thing in the world. They’re both villains, though, so this can’t possibly end well. Can it?

Please note this is a dark read containing violence. Perfect for readers who love a captive/captor dark MM romance, an enemies-to-lovers slow burn and two morally black villains with “no one hurts you but me” energy.
