Villains - Mammoth (THE VILLAINS DARK ROMANCE SERIES #5)

In Brooks Bay, power is currency and survival demands teeth. Marcus Gaines rose from the Southside’s forgotten streets to become more than a man—he became Mammoth, the crime lord who rules the underworld with brutal precision and a velvet touch. By day he’s Marcus, the polished philanthropist funding schools and charities; by night he enforces order through fear, loyalty, and blood. When Isabella “Izzy” Reyes—his childhood friend turned museum curator—returns to the city, their reunion reignites a forbidden passion. But loving Mammoth means stepping into the crossfire of gang wars, Dominion Guard propaganda, and the corporations who pull the strings behind Brooks Bay’s skyline.



As Marcus tightens his grip on the city, whispers of Meridian experiments, rift anomalies, and corporate corruption snake into his empire. Izzy finds herself torn between curating relics of the past and uncovering secrets that could decide the future of Brooks Bay. Their bond grows hotter, deeper, and more dangerous with every secret revealed. Izzy must decide if she can stand as the woman beside a mob boss feared by enemies and adored by his people, while Marcus battles to keep her safe in a world that will call her guilty by association. Their passion is explosive, tender, and terrifying—an intimacy that burns against the backdrop of a city ready to ignite.



But when Jeremiah Dominion rises reborn in monstrous power, even the Dominion Guard tremble at his command. Pillar, Lumen, Greymane, and Keystone bow to their master’s shadow—and only Mammoth smiles at the smear campaigns branding him and others as “Filthy Villains.” Because Mammoth knows one if the world wants villains, he will give them villains to fear. Blending dark romance, superhero smut, crime thriller, and gritty urban fantasy, Mammoth delivers a searing tale of forbidden love, ruthless power, and the origin of the villain team that will shake the Villains Literary Universe.
