Hunt the Villain by Rina Kent

Hunt the Villain (2026) by international bestselling author Rina Kent is a dark, high-octane M/M (Male/Male) mafia romance. Marking a highly anticipated addition to her sprawling "Rinaverse," the novel functions as the second installment in her Villains series.

Known for her unapologetic anti-heroes and high-angst storytelling, Kent delivers an explosive, forbidden love story about two rival mafia heirs trying to navigate dangerous family obligations while battling an all-consuming mutual obsession.

The narrative alternates between two fiercely powerful protagonists whose lives collide in the dark world of organized crime:

• Vaughn: Highly disciplined, tightly wound, and a complete control freak. Vaughn values order and absolute loyalty above all else, training to take his place at the head of his mafia organization.

• Yulian Dimitriev: A walking embodiment of pure chaos, a brash shit-stirrer, and a self-professed violence junkie. He is the heir to a dangerous, rival Bratva syndicate.

Vaughn and Yulian first meet under unorthodox circumstances—trapped together at a ruthless summer training camp for mafia youth. For Vaughn, it is hate at first sight; Yulian represents everything he actively despises. Yet, during a tragic, near-death survival experience hidden away in a cave, their mutual animosity sparks a dangerous, highly forbidden physical and emotional intimacy.

Before they can process their complicated feelings, tragedy rips them apart. They are forced back into their parallel, rival criminal worlds and endure four grueling years of complete separation, intense pining, and agonizing silence.

When their paths inevitably cross again in the high-stakes underworld, they are dragged back into each other's orbits. In a mafia landscape where two future leaders cannot openly be together, Yulian actively blurs every boundary to break down Vaughn’s rigid defenses. As dark family secrets threaten to come to light, the two men must decide if they are willing to burn down their empires to keep each other.
