Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll experience a feral, addictive read where dark obsession delivers satisfying angst and leaves you obsessed.

Synopsis

From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes an MM college romance. I’m not attracted to men. Or so I thought before I slammed into Nikolai Sokolov. A mafia heir, a notorious bastard, and a violent monster. An ill-fated meeting puts me in his path. And just like that, he has his sights set on me. A quiet artist, a golden boy, and his enemy’s twin brother. He doesn’t seem to care that the odds are stacked against us. In fact, he sets out to break my steel-like control and blur my limits. I thought my biggest worry was being noticed by Nikolai. I’m learning the hard way that being wanted by this beautiful nightmare is much worse. This book can be read on its own, but for a better understanding of the world, you might want to start with God of Malice.

At a Glance

Rina Kent's first MM romance pairs Nikolai Sokolov—a violent, impulsive mafia heir who operates like a golden retriever with a body count—against Brandon King, a disciplined artist burying his sexuality under layers of self-loathing. The obsession is immediate and relentless. Brandon's coming-out arc anchors the emotional weight while Nikolai's refusal to let him retreat provides the tension. Heavy content warnings for past trauma, self-harm, and dubcon—this is dark romance that earns its angst through genuine character work rather than shock value.
