Book-by-Book Guide:
Assistant to the Villain
Evie Sage takes a leap into the unknown when she accepts a position at Rennedawn’s legendary villain’s side. What begins as light paperwork and the promise of “occasional beheadings” quickly spirals into a world where danger, charm, and a surprising attraction collide. Maehrer balances witty workplace banter with growing romantic tension as Evie navigates brash commands, secret plots, and a heart that’s learning to beat in a new rhythm. This opening installment sets the tone—snappy, funny, and romantic—while introducing a curious, courageous heroine who’s ready to challenge the status quo and find her own footing inside a world of magic and mayhem. A clever beginning to a memorable trio. Apprentice to the Villain
In the second entry, Evie’s partnership with the villain deepens—and so does the peril. The story explores how power and affection can blur boundaries as Evie stands by her formidable boss through shifting schemes and unforeseen consequences. The romance heats up against a backdrop of magical intrigue and witty one-liners, while Evie asserts greater influence over the kingdom’s fate. This installment tightens the world-building and accelerates the emotional payoff, proving that being the right-hand isn’t just about tasks—it’s about trust, courage, and choosing where one’s loyalties truly lie. A gripping middle act that elevates the series’ stakes and charm. Accomplice to the Villain
The finale brings Evie’s journey to a confident crescendo. As she joins the inner circle, the balance between danger and desire sharpens, and the boundaries between “work” and “love” blur in delightful, surprising ways.
