The Kings of Wayward AcademyBook 6 of 6

Vexatious Queen: A Why Choose Mafia Sports Romance of Secrets, Loyalty, and the Queen Who Broke the Rules (The Kings of Wayward Academy)

Brooklyn Cross

The Queen's strength will be tested, but she is the most formidable when protecting her Kings.

I was never supposed to survive Wayward Academy.

They called me fragile. A pawn. A girl too soft to stand against kings built from cruelty and blood. But every scar carved me into something harder. Every betrayal made me stronger. Every loss turned me into the one thing they never saw coming…their Queen.

Now the board has changed. My enemies are closer, their knives aimed at the people I love most. My Kings are at my side, but even they can’t shield me from the truth—power has a price. But I’m done letting others decide what my price will be.

Because I’m not the only queen they should fear. My mother’s secrets are rising from the shadows, ready to burn the game to ash.

This is my reckoning. My redemption. My crown.

Vexatious Queen is the explosive conclusion to the dark mafia, sports, academy romance series, The Kings of Wayward Academy. Packed with obsession, betrayal, redemption, and a love fierce enough to survive the ruin. Ren’s story ends here with a checkmate no king can see coming.
