Steel Princess: A Dark High School Bully Romance (Royal Elite, Book 2)

Some wars are fought with weapons. Aiden King fights with obsession.

Elsa Nash refused to break when Royal Elite Academy's most ruthless power player came for her. She took his cruelty, survived his games, and came out the other side with one goal: make Aiden King regret the day he chose her as his target. But fighting back means staying close, and staying close to Aiden is the most dangerous move she's ever made.

Aiden doesn't just want to win — he wants her complete surrender. When Elsa dares to challenge him on his own terms, he shifts the rules of their twisted game entirely. Control is everything to him, and watching her fight back doesn't weaken his grip. It tightens it.

Set against the privileged, pressure-cooker world of an elite academy where social hierarchies are enforced like law, *Steel Princess* is the second installment in Rina Kent's Royal Elite series — a dark, compulsively readable contemporary romance that refuses to play it safe. As buried secrets begin clawing their way to the surface, the line between hatred and obsession dissolves into something neither of them can name or escape.

This is not a soft love story. It's a collision — electric, dangerous, and utterly consuming.

If you thought the first book tested your limits, Aiden and Elsa are only getting started. The question isn't who wins the war. It's who survives wanting each other.
