Perfect for you if...

You love dark romance with high stakes where the heroine isn't a passive victim but actively pursuing her own agenda, even when it puts her in danger.
You're drawn to morally grey characters who blur the line between villain and protector, especially when chemistry crackles with tension and threat.
You want intense, explicit scenes woven into a plot that grips you—not just a romance with hockey as window dressing.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer soft-edged romance where the hero is straightforwardly good and the relationship builds on mutual respect from the start.
You're uncomfortable with possessive, controlling behaviour in relationships, even when framed as protective or seductive.
You want a standalone story; you're not ready to invest in a series or multiple cliffhangers.

About this book

Beautiful Venom is a dark hockey romance by Rina Kent, the first book in the Vipers series. The protagonist seeks revenge against those who destroyed their world but lacks a way to identify the person orchestrating events. Their only lead is The Vipers, an elite college hockey team with influence both on and off the ice. To access their inner circle, the protagonist targets Kane Davenport, the team's captain, believing him to be the weakest member. However, Kane's approachable demeanor masks a dangerous predator. He quickly reveals a darker nature and draws the protagonist into a high-stakes game from which there is no escape.
