Kiss the Villain by Rina Kent is a scorching standalone professor/student dark MM romance set in the Legacy of Gods world, following a golden-boy law student whose secret chaotic urges collide with his new professor—a criminal with a dark past—sparking a dangerous game of obsession, revenge, and mutual destruction. Released in 2025, this enemies-to-lovers tale explores power dynamics, forbidden desire, and psychological intensity, with content warnings for dark themes including violence and explicit content.

Golden boy Gareth Carson—genius law student, heir to an empire, and dutiful son—hides a burning urge to unleash chaos, which he indulges rarely until one night leads to a fateful encounter with a villain. When that villain reappears as his criminal-law professor, Kayden Lockwood, Gareth must navigate blackmail, buried secrets, and escalating tension without exposing his double life. As their clash turns into obsessive attraction, the pair break each other down in a high-stakes battle of wills, blending dominance, submission, and bi/gay awakening amid a backdrop of moral ambiguity and psychological depth. Praised for its intense spice and character complexity, the full-cast narration brings vivid life to the rivals' chemistry, though some note the plot's reliance on familiar tropes.
