When Teal Van Doren steals a marriage contract that wasn't meant for her eyes, she sets herself on a collision course with Ronan Astor—an arrogant, ruthless prince who's determined to make her pay for her transgression. What he doesn't anticipate is that she's just as ready for war, and she's got her own devastating plans for revenge. Their dangerous game of cat-and-mouse crackles with tension and dark chemistry as they circle each other, both playing for keeps in a world where one wrong move could mean everything. If you love morally gray characters, high-stakes drama, and the kind of enemies-to-lovers tension that keeps you turning pages at 2 AM, this vicious prince will absolutely wreck you—in the best way.
