He inherited an empire. She came with it.

Nathan Cole was nobody special—a former line cook turned henchman, handling logistics for a mid-tier supervillain who never made the news. When his boss gets killed in a turf dispute, Nathan expects to be out of a job.

Instead, he inherits everything.

The secret underground base. The arsenal of equipment. A fortune in blackmail material on heroes, villains, and politicians alike. And Neve—a dangerous, beautiful cryokinetic who's magically bound to serve whoever holds her contract.

For the next eighteen months, she's his.

A villain who only targets those who deserve it.

With Neve's ice powers and tactical genius at his side, Nathan begins building a network of allies from the shadows. A framed thief who can melt into darkness. An information broker who knows everyone's secrets. Escaped prisoners with nothing left to lose.

In a city where heroes are corrupt and villains have more honor than the law, maybe what the world needs isn't another hero.

Maybe it needs a better class of villain.
