La princesse redoutable: Une dark romance mafieuse avec harcèlement au lycée (L’empire de Knight’s Ridge t. 11)

The juxtaposition of innocence and danger felt intense. I'm curious whether the setting evolved from a specific idea or if it was a deliberate contrast.

The romance is so intense but the choices are often so dark — how do readers reconcile their sympathies for these characters?

The story packs a punch emotionally, but I wonder how much planning went into ensuring the characters’ vulnerabilities shine through amidst the tension.
