Ruthless Empire by Rina Kent (Paperback)

A dark enemies-to-lovers romance from Rina Kent, part of the Royal Elite series. She’s off limits. He has none.

There’s a girl. Beautiful, popular, fake. And to him, she’s become an obsession — his fall, and probably his damnation. Does that stop him? Does he care? No, and no. There’s a line between right and wrong, between moral and immoral. And then there’s her, the one thing that makes him cross every limit he’s ever known, with blood-coated fingers and no intention of stopping.

She says she hates him. He says he hates her right back — even as he traps her, claims her, and sets about making her entirely his. What should be forbidden only sharpens the obsession, and what starts as loathing twists into something far more dangerous and all-consuming. Possessive, ruthless and relentless, it’s a story about wanting someone you were never supposed to have, and refusing to let her go.

Ruthless Empire 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 dark romance for mature readers; please check any content warnings before reading.

Perfect for readers who love dark enemies-to-lovers romance, a possessive, obsessive morally black anti-hero, forbidden forced-proximity tension and a heroine he refuses to release.
