Accomplice to the Villain (Assistant & the Villain #3) — Hannah Nicole Maehrer
Romantasy workplace comedy • sunshine FMC • evil-adjacent romance • prophecy chaos • assassins at the office • grumpy boss • snarky crowned frog • TikTok-viral humor

A laugh-out-loud continuation of the Once Upon a Time x The Office fantasy romp—only now Evie’s not just the Villain’s assistant… she’s fully evil-adjacent and wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and a weaponized scone (accurate). Accomplice to the Villain leans hard into magical workplace chaos, escalating danger, and the slow-burn “we are absolutely not having feelings” romance that keeps getting louder.

Evie Sage never planned to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying Villain. She applied for an entry-level job promising “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,” and somehow ended up knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an extremely inconvenient crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking-disaster of a boss.

Now things are spiraling: a magical prophecy is unraveling, assassins are showing up in the break room, and there’s a suspicious number of frogs wearing crowns—including one grumpy, judgmental frog who’s often seen with Evie. Evie’s goal is simple: survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire… or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.

Because being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan.
But then again… neither was falling for The Villain.
