She's the Assistant. He's the Villain. Together, They're Absolutely Chaotic.
Dive into Hannah Nicole Maehrer's viral TikTok sensation that took the book world by storm! Assistant to the Villain is the hilarious, swoon-worthy romantasy that proves the best workplace romances happen in the most unlikely places—like a villain's lair.
Evie Sage is desperate. With a terminally ill father and a sister to support, she needs a job—any job. So when she accidentally interviews with the most notorious villain in the realm (known only as The Villain), she doesn't run away screaming. She takes the position. Working for The Villain means managing assassination attempts, mediating disputes between terrifying henchmen, and trying to keep her morally ambiguous boss on schedule. It definitely doesn't mean falling for him. But as Evie navigates the chaos of villain headquarters—with the help of a feisty healer, an inept handler of magical creatures, and an office rival she can't decide to trust or avoid—she discovers there's more to her enigmatic boss than meets the eye. And the sparks flying between them aren't just magical tension.
Clean Content Promise: Spice level 1—sweet, building romance with great tension and plenty of swoon-worthy moments.
Perfect For:
Romantasy fans who appreciate humor, readers who love workplace romance meets fantasy, anyone who's ever had a chaotic job, and fans of The Hating Game meets fantasy worlds. Ideal for those who enjoy slow-burn romance with lots of laugh-out-loud moments and morally gray love interests. Great for book clubs seeking lighter romantasy with depth.

This collection celebrates everything readers love about Evie's chaotic workplace—from Kingsley's (sometimes) helpful warnings to the coffee you'll need to survive early meetings with The Villain. Each item connects to the humor, heart, and hijinks that make this story impossible to put down. Perfect for readers who want their fantasy with a side of humor and a boss-employee relationship that's equal parts professional disaster and romantic tension. Kingsley approved! (Well, he tried to help, at least.)
