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.
Some love stories heal you—others consume you completely.
In Sweet Venom by Rina Kent, passion and danger collide in a world where love is anything but safe. Set against the high-stakes backdrop of elite college hockey, the story follows a fiercely independent heroine who crosses paths with a powerful, emotionally guarded player whose presence is as intoxicating as it is destructive.
What begins as tension quickly spirals into a volatile connection neither of them can ignore. Beneath the surface, both carry scars—secrets, trauma, and unresolved pain that shape every choice they make. Trust doesn’t come easy, and vulnerability feels like weakness.
But the deeper they fall, the more intense the stakes become. Control turns into obsession, desire blurs into possession, and the line between love and damage begins to disappear. In a relationship fueled by power struggles and emotional chaos, one wrong move could break them beyond repair.
Dark, addictive, and emotionally charged, this novel explores the thrill—and danger—of loving someone who might destroy you.
Because sometimes, the sweetest venom is the one you crave the most.
