Synopsis
This cruel king won’t stop until he owns me. Dutch Cross, lead singer of The Kings, is a nightmare come to life. I fell for his amber eyes, chiseled jaw line, and crooning voice once before and it almost cost me my future. Never again. This time, I’ll be the one to make him bleed. But Dutch has no intentions of giving me the upper hand. Heartless. Ruthless. Savage. He seeks revenge for my secrets and declares war on the most precious thing I have. The beast thinks he can break me. But I didn’t claw my way back into Redwood just to go down in flames, not unless I burn Dutch and his gorgeous brothers down with me. I’ll find a way to resist him, even if it means playing dirty. Because falling into Dutch’s trap sounds like a bully’s version of hell. I’ve already been there and I’m not going back. Even if it kills me. *** The Ruthless Note is part two of a one-couple romance between a cruel prince and a gifted musical prodigy. Also note, this saga contains strong bully themes. If you’re looking for an extreme enemies-to lovers, unapologetic alpha hero, high school rockstar romance, this is the book for you. XOXO - Nelia
