The Good Villain

He ruled the underworld with cold precision-until love gave him something to lose. Luca Moretti is a ruthless enforcer in a city soaked in blood and betrayal. Known for his silence and steel, he's never questioned the violent life he leads-until he meets Elena Rivers, an art gallery owner who sees through his armor. Her kindness stirs something buried deep, something dangerous: hope. When Luca promises Elena one last job before they disappear together, fate deals him a brutal hand.
Betrayal. Blood. And a smiling mask that steals everything. Now driven by grief and vengeance, Luca hunts a serial killer hiding behind a smile-and behind the city's walls of power. But the deeper he goes, the more he becomes the monster Elena tried to save him from. As the line between justice and revenge blurs, Luca faces one final choice: destroy the man who shattered his soul, or honor the woman who believed he could be more than a villain.
The Good Villain is a gritty, emotional noir thriller about love, loss, and the painful path to redemption. Perfect for fans of morally grey characters, dark romance, and crime dramas with a heart.
