Beautiful Venom

Description

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling queen of dark romance, Rina Kent, comes a sizzling, high-stakes new dark hockey romance set in a world of secrets, obsession, and deadly games.

In a den of vipers, revenge is the deadliest venom.

They shattered my world to pieces; now, I’m burning down theirs. The problem? I have virtually no way to trace the elusive puppet master orchestrating it all. My only solid lead is The Vipers—an elite, high-society college hockey team that ruthlessly rules the ice, and controls the pitch-black shadows far beyond it. To successfully infiltrate their fiercely guarded secret society, I decide to set my sights on what I assume is their weakest link: Kane Davenport. He is the charismatic, widely adored team captain and the lone, apparent green flag in a nest of toxic serpents.

But by the time I realize my mistake, it’s already too late. I haven’t ensnared a weak link—I have enticed the most venomous, calculating snake in the grass. Kane’s warm, friendly façade is nothing more than a carefully crafted trap hiding a psychological predator far more dangerous than I ever could have imagined. He quickly sheds his golden-boy mask to unveil the ruthless monster lurking beneath the surface. Now, the tables have turned. He didn’t just catch me playing my game; he lured me in from the very beginning only to trap me in a lethal game of survival with absolutely no escape.

Masterfully combining the addictive dark sports romance, elite secret society, forced proximity, and classic enemies-to-lovers tropes, Beautiful Venom delivers Rina Kent’s signature blend of possessive anti-heroes, brilliant psychological mind games, and scorching, dark physical chemistry.
