Venomous Deceit: A Venomous Series Standalone

She's hunting his secrets. He's hunting her.

Cressida Knight has spent years chasing stories that powerful men want buried, but nothing has consumed her like the Forsaken Society—a shadowy organization operating behind closed doors and silent threats. At its center stands Soren Nixon, a media mogul so untouchable he practically invented the word. He controls empires from boardrooms by day and bleeds his rage out in underground fighting rings by night. To Cressida, he's the story that will define her career. She just has to survive getting it.

But Soren Nixon doesn't give interviews. He gives consequences.

When Cressida gets close enough to peel back the first layer of his carefully constructed world, she discovers that the most dangerous thing about Soren isn't his money, his power, or even his fists—it's the way he looks at her like she's already his. Cold, calculating, and accustomed to absolute control, Soren finds himself unexpectedly captivated by the one woman who refuses to flinch. She's his greatest threat. She's becoming his greatest obsession.

In this pulse-pounding romantic suspense from Blair Thatcher and T.L. Smith, the line between enemy and lover is razor-thin, and crossing it has consequences neither of them can afford. Secrets this dark don't stay buried forever, and desire this intense doesn't stay professional for long.

The truth will cost her everything—but Soren Nixon might cost her even more.
