Vicious Prince: Royal Elite, Book 5

Ronan Astor has never met a problem he couldn't charm, intimidate, or buy his way out of—until Teal Van Doren walks into his life wearing a smile that looks suspiciously like a weapon.

As one of the Royal Elite, Ronan rules his world with ruthless precision. He's untouchable, untamable, and utterly convinced that the arranged marriage contract binding him to Teal is nothing more than a temporary inconvenience. He expects submission. He expects desperation. He expects her to fall in line the way everyone else does.

He expects wrong.

Teal isn't here for his money, his status, or the devastating smirk that has broken better women than her. She has her own agenda—dark, calculated, and carefully hidden beneath a surface that gives nothing away. In the shadowed corridors of this elite world, she's playing a game Ronan doesn't even know has started.

Set against the backdrop of a prestigious institution where power and cruelty go hand in hand, this dark new adult romance pulls no punches. These two damaged souls carry secrets heavy enough to destroy everything around them, and the closer they circle each other, the more dangerous the tension becomes. What begins as open hostility twists into something volatile, consuming, and impossible to walk away from.

Two players. One devastating arrangement. Neither of them prepared for what happens when the masks finally come off.
