Last weekend, Marcus insisted on baking his own batch of cookies. Despite my warnings about the flour storm he was about to unleash, he proceeded with determination. The kitchen looked like a snow globe by the time he was done, but the cookies? Surprisingly delicious. It reminded me that sometimes, the messiest moments lead to the sweetest results. This theme of unexpected outcomes resonates in God of Malice, a dark romance that delves into the complexities of control, obsession, and the blurred lines between love and power.
