What happens when the villain wins? Sick of dashing debonairs…? Fed up of being blinded by shining armor…? Sometimes, all a girl wants is a villain for a hero. Dancing across morally gray lines, these stories are naughty, devious, and downright delicious. How far are you willing to go to get what you want? These rebellious tales answer that question. Every character has a dubious shade of values. Dark secrets, wanton desires, and the means to win. These stories go beyond your usual heroes. They explore the darkness inside us all, the conflicts we face, and the choices we make when striving for our desires—both good and bad… But then, none of us are halo wearing heroes anyway… right? Get it now.

Scott Williamson is a Scottish writer who does not have the attention span to write in one genre, so plans to write in them all. All of his stories will have a twist of Scottish cheek, a nip of darkness and a sprinkle of hope. Scott lives in Auld Reekie Edinburgh with his wife and three kids. When he is not in his writing cage fighting with the blank page, he can be found curled up and broken on the couch after a day parenting his tearaway children.
J. Ember Hintz writes sci-fi and fantasy romance. She loves building dark contemporary worlds and lush alternate realities ripe with mythology and magic. You’ll meet ghosts, gods, and monsters in her stories, but never a damsel in distress. Her debut novel was a 2022 Book Life Prize by Publisher’s weekly Quarter Finalist and 2021 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence Finalist. Fun Facts: J. Ember is her real first initial and middle name. She goes absolutely feral for enemies to lovers, grumpy protector/body guard romance tropes, and whatever the opposite of a meet-cute is. A meet-disaster? She also believes the villain or antagonist is the most important character in every story. She lives near the ocean with her husband, two rescue poodles and the occasional ghost. Her alter ego enjoys a successful career in the wedding industry. Job perks include an unlimited supply of cake, champagne and IRL HEAs. When she’s not making dreams come true, or breathing life into fictional characters, you can find her in the studio throwing paint at a canvas and hoping for the best.
