I've come for closure. But I can't walk away from him. Crashing my ex-boyfriend's wedding should be simple-get in, get out. Until Graham, a silver-haired billionaire, catches me when I fall. He captures my heart but still sees his late wife in me. When bats overrun my house, Graham becomes my protector. But falling for a man whose heart still belongs to another? That's a heartbreak I might not survive.

With only a cryptic note telling him his eight rules, he sets out to discover just exactly who he is and what he did to become the number one villain. When his first lead takes him straight into the heroes' hands, Denizen struggles to keep his villain alias secret and play the confused and innocent citizen, all the while digging deeper for answers. But as he gets closer to the truth-and the heroes get hotter on his tail--two questions become painfully loud: Is he good? And should he let the heroes catch him?
