It's just a terribly inconvenient fact because, well…he's rather cute.Despite her best efforts, Amma can’t seem to get him out of her mind, not whilst locked up in a tower surrounded by infernal beings, nor trapped below ground in a den of beguiling vampires, and definitely not in the heart of a wild jungle under the tutelage of esoteric witches.

From indie sensation A.K. Caggiano comes the third book in the cosy romantasy Villains & Virtues series, following a not-so-evil-anymore demon lord and the baroness responsible for his change of heart, who finally must confront their feelings for each other, but how can they admit their attraction when the world is ending? ***Their destinies are irrevocably entangled, but will their bond finally be the realm’s ultimate undoing?Nothing about Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne’s evil destiny has gone according to plan. The reason? A certain noblewoman who has somehow enmeshed herself in his softening heart.Now back amongst his peers at Yvlcon, the preeminent congregation of the vilest and most unscrupulous villains, Damien’s moral growth is threatened—and just when he was learning to be a little less evil, too. Consequently, Lady Ammalie Avington, Daughter to the Baron of Faebarrow, finds her own virtue in peril when faced with so much temptation, namely in the form of a domineering blood mage she can’t—or doesn’t want—to say no to.But a burgeoning romance is doused in the coldest of baths when the Grand Order of Dread commands Damien to once again face the swirling vortex of entropy that’s been hunting them across the realm. The coming eclipse points to devastation and destruction, and with prophecy being, well, prophecy, annihilation seems impossible to avoid.But there’s an entire fortnight before the world is supposed to end, and surely that’s enough time to find some way around it…or at the very least to confess one’s devotion before it all burns down around them.Exciting, heartwarming and unashamedly cosy, the third book in the Villains & Virtues series is a slow burn romantasy adventure perfect for fans of cosy fantasy and grumpy x sunshine romance.TropesCosy FantasyRomantasyGrumpy x Sunshine Slow Burn RomanceVillains & Virtues:Throne in the DarkSummoned to the WildsEclipse of the Crown
