“He’s a man staring into the eye of the storm, Ada…
The storm’s blinking first.”
A London Villain, all-new dark second-chance standalone romance by international bestselling author Catherine Wiltcher is now live!
It started with a dare:
Steal a kiss from the pretty, green-eyed girl with the Irish mobster father.
Turns out, Ada O'Sullivan was a much better thief than me.
In the span of one night, I lost my head, my senses, my loyalty to my own crime family...
At nineteen, she was the only thing worth fighting for.
Dying for.
Loving.
But I was a boy playing a man's game.
In the end, they drove me from this city, while Ada was driven straight to hell.
Now, I'm back—an avenging devil—with red hands and loaded bullets.
Irish. Mafia. Bratva. British.
Everyone who tore her from my arms, everyone who has ever hurt her, will suffer the consequences.
But time bleeds secrets.
Secrets open old wounds.
Ada isn't the same sweet girl I knew before they ripped her innocence apart.
And that boy?
I've turned him into a villain who will stop at nothing to make her mine again.
A London Villain is a heart-stopping, second chance romance with NO cliff-hanger and a guaranteed HEA
This was a heart pounding tragic story filled with so much death, destruction and tragedy. This story in a lot of ways does read like Romeo and a Juliet story. Tragic!
Loved the characters but, my heart went out to Frankie and Ada they experienced nothing by pain and heartache their entire lives and even the one small bright light given to Ada in her tragic life was taken away before it even was able to burn brightly.
The story was a page turner for sure, the story kept you on edge the entire time. Some characters scared the sh** out of us. Awesome story and we loved it! Non-stop suspense and drama and so much more.
Catherine Wiltcher is a bestselling author of eighteen dark romance novels, including the Santiago Trilogy. A stage 4 cancer thriver and a former TV Producer, she writes flawed characters who always fall hard and deep for one another, whatever the cost.
She lives in the UK with her husband and two young daughters. If she ever found herself stranded on a desert island she'd like a large pink gin to keep her company... Cillian Murphy wouldn't be a bad shout either.
Wow! This story was one hot read with the sexual tension the constant drama and one that had a cast of awesome characters. I don't know what it is about these authors in that the fact they make it so easy to fall in love with the bad guys but, Cora does it every time and Catherine is brand new to us so now she to has a hand in doing the same.
Thalia was not your typical mafia princessa she is one mouthy chick who is not afraid to speak her mind. Talk about a sense of humor, this chick had that in spades. No matter the situation she found herself she remained strong and brave and the only thing that got the best of her was what they would do to the sister if she did not comply because she never thought of her own safety not ever. Thalia made me laugh through the entire story and the prep scene before the wedding literally had me laughing so hard I was in tears. We loved the scene so much we had to read it back to my daughter and I couldn't stop laughing and crying trying to get through the scene once again but, I did however get her laughing her a-- off to! We never have laughed so hard with such a doomed outcome! Thalia's banter throughout the entire book priceless!
Santi is everything dark and dangerous and devilishly attractive and no matter the situation he finds himself in the fact that he can't help but, be attracted to the mouthy princess who he has instant hate for just because she carries the name of her enemy yet everything he craves.
The hate is passed from generation but, their children are at least a bit smarter than their parents and maybe just maybe this time around the story will end with a different outcome. We have a feeling in that Thalia will be the one to change the playing field between these rival families that women has a heart of gold and is loyal to a fault who better to have on ones side than her.
Overall we just loved this one from cover to cover and everything in between. This story left on one he-- of a cliffhanger, and we can't wait to see what happens next. We are so looking forward to seeing more Santi again that man was filled with so much pain and darkness but, we think Thalia is the light that is going to be his savior. Thalia for us turned out to be our top new favorite character for 2021. Get writing ladies we are dying to see what happens next.

Movies & stuff…
Before I started writing, I worked for seventeen years in the TV and movie industry.

All my experiences have helped shape my stories – from the amazing places I’ve visited to hanging out with some really fun A-listers.
First, he held a gun to my head. Then he blew my world apart …
Dante Santiago is a criminal with no conscience. He’s a whisper of a name, a faceless stranger… A man content to dwell in the shadows of his underworld.
Dante’s enemies found a weakness in him once. He’ll never let it happen again. That’s until the night Eve Miller walks past him on a dirty, desolate street. Now she’s his captive, kept at the whim of a man with no kindness or morality.
Eve’s an innocent, his angel, but she too is harboring a dark secret. For years she’s been fighting a private war with the illegal drugs trade, with the cartel responsible for murdering her brother. She’s closer to revenge than she’s ever been until Dante’s duplicity blows her world apart.
Theirs is a relationship borne of hate but neither can deny the fire that rages between them. But Dante’s a haunted man. He knows only pain and suffering until Eve sees a spark of light buried deep within the shadows of his heart.
Soon Eve must make a choice. Save Dante Santiago’s soul or lose herself to his darkness forever…
NEW from the #1 bestselling author of Eyes To the Wind
Excerpt
He comes for me then, dark and dangerous and utterly mesmeric. “Take it off.”
I stare at him in shock.
“Take off that dress, Eve, or so help me god I’ll rip it from your body.”
His words are like liquid fire to my core. I stagger away from him so he can’t see my naked lust, so he can’t exploit and revel in what he does to me. “Apologize first,” I gasp, trying to compose myself. Sordid images keep invading my mind. I want every single, glorious inch of him on me and in me.
He’s barely two meters away and closing in fast. “I never apologize to anyone, my angel, you know that.”
“You did in Africa. Do it again now or I’m walking right out of this mansion and I’m not coming back.”
He grinds to a halt and stares at me as if he can’t quite believe I’ve got the balls to speak to him like this. “Don’t make your punishment any worse than it already is, Eve,” he growls.
Other women would be terrified by a threat like this from Dante Santiago but I’m not like other women. “Oh I’m counting on it,” I whisper, watching with dark delight as his gaze drops to devour me whole. My defiance does things to this man that no one else can.
“Ok then, I apologize,” he says softly, taking another step towards me, his eyes blazing into mine. “I apologize for demeaning you. I apologize for leaving you for six weeks without satisfying you. I apologize for leaving your soft skin so bereft of my touch.” He prowls to a stop right in front of me and runs a leisurely finger down the length of my arm as I try not to flinch away. “But most of all, my angel, I apologize for the way I’m going to bend you over this couch and fuck you until you scream.”
