From Best of Booktok author Jagger Cole comes a new dark mafia, Booktok-meets-Masktok enemies-to-lovers romance.
My parents think I'm the perfect daughter.
To Knightsblood University, I’m the sweet little mafia princess.
But to a million strangers on BookTok, I’m the masked ''Velvet Villainess’: the mysterious woman who convinces innocent readers that fictional psychopaths make perfectly reasonable boyfriend material.
If I’m being real, the strangers might know me best.
My double life is going great…until a masked stranger ripped straight from the pages of one of my own spicy books catches me filming.
The Ghost Prince is the internet'''s favorite unhinged book boyfriend, cosplaying every morally gray, dangerously obsessive red flag I've ever swooned over behind a mask of his own.
And now he knows my dirtiest secret.
He says he won't expose me. But instead, he decides to keep me.
I should be terrified.
Unfortunately, I'm into that.
There's just one tiny complication.
Ghost isn’t just an anonymous masked fantasy.
He’s Lochlan Kildare. Campus royalty. Shameless flirt. The insufferably cocky and outrageously gorgeous heir to a rival family I should have nothing to do with.
The man I'd happily watch fall down a flight of stairs.
Which is a problem, because I might be falling for him.
Too bad I'm also falling for the masked stranger with his fingers around my neck.
I just don''t know they’re the same man.
Some villains hide behind masks.
Mine wears two.
Tropes:
