Rebecca Kinkade’s The Art of Revenge is a spicy, why choose, dark academia romance about a painting rumored to drive men to madness... and one woman who definitely will.

One Look Can Drive You Mad

The Lucero’s family museum hosts just one painting: a priceless masterpiece that infamously sows madness in anyone who looks at it… except a Lucero.

Mia Lucero always knew the painting would be her burden one day. But when death strikes her family, that day comes far too soon. Mia is forced to transfer back home to Vasari Art Academy: an elite college with ivy coated walls, centuries of prestige… and three gorgeous but temperamental artists she’s determined to avoid.

They want her gone. She has no choice but to stay. But when a stalker begins hunting Mia, her tormenters may be the only ones who can help her protect their shared obsession—the Lucero masterpiece.

Now, living with three sinfully handsome artists is hardly ideal, especially when Mia can’t keep her hands off them—nor they her. But as threats mount, the danger to the last Lucero and her painting may be closer to home than anyone expected.

And to survive, Mia may have to teach a masterclass in the art of revenge.
