Sweet Venom (Standard Edition)
From New York Times bestselling author Rina Kent comes the second book in the Vipers series, a dark hockey romance set in a glamorous secret world.
Can I outrun his merciless obsession?
I accidentally witnessed a brutal murder.
I froze, pretended I saw nothing, hoping I could leave it behind.
But my plan backfired, and my life spiralled downward.
Now, I'm the target of cold-blooded revenge.
Jude Callahan isn't just a hockey godβhe's a devil no one dares to cross.
My existence disrupts his stardom, prestige, and possible serial killer career choice.
And he's set out to make me pay for that moment of silence.
No matter how much I run or hide, he finds me, watching from the shadows.
Like a predator.
I thought he'd stop at the stalking.
Or even better, he'd kill me and finally end my misery.
But Jude has other plans.
He says I can't die. I have to pay for my sins.
And just like that, he drags me into his depraved world, kicking and screaming.
