Publisher's Summary
My first love ended in tragedy.
My second began with his brother.
From Wall Street Journal best seller Parker S. Huntington comes a broken love story laced with angst and forbidden romance.
I wasn’t supposed to be on that roof on Valentine’s Day.
Neither was Kellan Marchetti, the school’s designated freak.
We met on the verge of ending our lives.
Somehow, the tattered strings of our tragedies tangled and tightened into an unlikely bond.
We decided not to take the plunge and agreed to check on each other every Valentine’s Day until school ended.
Same time.
One roof.
Two restless souls.
We kept our promise for three years.
On the fourth, Kellan made a decision, and I was left to deal with the consequences.
Just when I thought our story ended, another one began.
They say all love stories look the same and taste different.
Mine was venomous, disgraceful, and written in scarlet scars.
My name is Charlotte Richards, but you can call me Venom.

I've been faithful long enough. I never claimed to be a good man, but I've always done what was expected of me. Find a nice girl. Get married. Have children. That was my duty as a good Christian man. And everything was going as planned when I met Briar. Beautiful. Charismatic. Sexy. But marriage is hard, and after seven years, I feel like I'm failing. Then, a figure from my past enters the picture.

It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge. To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw. Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day. Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night. I was ordered to avoid her. Lectured on her misdeeds. Forbidden from seeing her. But my need to protect her was innate. So natural I never questioned it. So visceral I couldn’t fight it.

Trauma nurse Aly Cappellucci doesn’t need any more kinks. She likes the one she’s landed on just fine. To her, nothing could top the masked men she follows online. Unless one of those men was shirtless, heavily tattooed, and waiting for her in her bedroom. She dreams about being hunted by one in particular, of him chasing her down and doing deliciously dark things to her willing body. She never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become her new reality.

When Cora attends her sister's birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn't anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side. And she really doesn't anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman's basement. To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains. After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they'd end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

Then Leo waltzes into my life, turning it upside down, along with everyone in it. One lie. One secret. That's all it took to bring it all burning down around me. Jealousy and hidden desires from the four guys I thought only saw me as their friend and boss stoke the flames even higher.

I have a simple plan. Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university. One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke. One glance and he suffocates my air. One glance and he issues his death sentence. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. “I will destroy you.” Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. I didn’t. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

AN UNEQUIVOCAL EXQUISITE MASTERPIECE!
This rivoting love story ends up occupying a large chunk of real estate in my psyche. It's the kind of story that 'stains the brain', so to speak. A word of caution -- do not start listening to this audiobook unless you are prepared to have your heart gutted, but in the most exquisite way. I am not ashamed to admit that I ugly cried while listening to this poignant, hauntingly beautiful, intricate and soul-wrenching story of regrets, guilt, forgiveness and love.
IMO the incomparable Sebastian York, who is my favourite narrator of all time, is absolutely phenomenal in breathing life into the hero/antihero - embodying Tate Marchetti superlatively. The pain and the complexities of emotions he expresses through his flawless narration kept me enthralled - and yearning for more. TBH - SY's deep soulful voice is sublime, and 'feels' like warm honey. He was perfectly casted as Tate, but he was also amazing as the washed-up, 'has-been' Terry Marchetti (Chapter 23 is brilliant).
The author is brilliant. I wish I had a more impactful word to describe her masterpiece but it is -- just that, a masterpiece. I would love to see this story made into a movie.
Eva Erickson is one of my top three favourite female narrators and she was absolutely amazing as Charlotte (Charlie) Richards. Her narration was flawless, captivating and drew me in from start to finish. Jacob Morgan was his usual talented self - delivering a seamless sardonic, self-deprecating, and heartbreaking performance that helped in driving the story home.
Finally, I hope that this novel/audiobook and/or the narrators win some kind of an award as the accolade will be well-deserved. IMO - is it worth a credit? Abso-frickin-lutely. Trust me - the 15 hours will fly by as you embark on a mind-blowing, evocative literary journey that will be imprinted in your psyche even after you finish listening.

So many tears
I don’t believe I’ve ever cried so deeply or often while listening to a book.
Amazing narration by all 3 narrators who truly brought the laughter, frustration and heartache alive especially Jacob Morgan who’s character was the cause of most of the tears.
Thought provoking, frustratingly painful at times with a slow and sometimes reverse burn romance which was tastefully more in the background than the foreground.
One of my new faves- the only thing I don’t like is the cover, that doesn’t suit or reflect the book in anyway and really throws me off when I see it.
