The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating

The first book in the Guides to Villainy and Love series follows Kazimir Blackrose, a notorious Dark Lord who kidnaps Lady Arabella intending a forced marriage to exploit her heroic bloodline for his ambitions. Instead of a compliant bride, he finds a defiant woman who sets her own terms for the arrangement. When his plans go sideways, Kazimir must contend with the unfamiliar challenge of actually courting his own wife amid magical training, awkward dinners, and various complications, as the two unexpectedly begin to develop feelings for each other. The tone blends dark fantasy with humor and romance.
