Perfect for you if...

You love morally grey characters who actually deserve the term villain, not reformed bad boys with hearts of gold.
You're drawn to dark romance where the power dynamic is messy and the hero isn't heroic at all.
You want a high school setting with real stakes and genuine darkness, not sanitised YA.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a protagonist who grows stronger through the story rather than one who's systematically broken down.
You're looking for a standalone novel, since this ends on a cliffhanger and demands you buy book two.
You prefer romance where consent is clear and enthusiastic from the start.

About this book

A student at Royal Elite School has a straightforward goal: graduate and attend her dream university. That plan unravels when she encounters Aiden King, the school's powerful and dangerous figure. His opening words—"I will destroy you"—set her life on a collision course with chaos. Aiden is defined by darkness: a black mind, heart, and soul. After provoking him, the protagonist realizes that being hated by him is dangerous, but being wanted by him is lethal. Deviant King is the first book in the Royal Elite Series. It is a dark high school bully romance with mature new adult content and contains situations some readers may find offensive. Aiden is not a traditional romance hero—he is not a hero at all. The book is part of a trilogy and is not standalone. The second book, Steel Princess, is available.
