Vicious Prince by Rina Kent (Paperback)

A dark arranged-marriage bully romance from Rina Kent, part of the Royal Elite series. He’s prince charming — just not hers.

Teal Van Doren has a secret. She stole something: a marriage contract. It was never hers to own, to look at, or even to consider — but it was there for the taking, so she took it. It turns out to be a huge mistake. Because the contract belongs to Ronan Astor, nobility in this world, an arrogant player, a heartless bastard, and every bit the vicious prince his reputation promises.

Now Ronan is out to destroy her, piece by piece, for what she’s done. What he doesn’t know is that she’s out to destroy him right back. Teal has no intention of playing the dutiful bride or the cowed victim — if he wants a war, she’ll give him one. After all, as she’ll happily tell anyone who asks, she’s where princes go to die. What follows is a vicious, simmering battle of wills between two people bound by a contract neither fully controls, where loathing and attraction blur fast, and neither is quite prepared for where it leads.

Vicious Prince is part of the Royal Elite series but can be read on its own, though the earlier books give a fuller understanding of the world. It’s a mature new adult romance containing dubious situations that some readers might find offensive. Please check any content warnings before reading.

Perfect for readers who love dark arranged-marriage romance, an enemies-to-lovers war of wills, an arrogant vicious anti-hero and a heroine with revenge of her own in mind.
