In the shadow of tragedy, two souls find an unexpected sanctuary atop a forsaken roof. Charlotte Richards, cloaked in the remnants of her first love's catastrophic end, crosses paths with Kellan Marchetti, a figure marred by whispers and isolation. On a day marked for lovers, their shared contemplation of despair forges an unanticipated connection. Bound by the silent promise to survive, at least until the next Valentine's Day, they weave a delicate tapestry of yearly meetings that promise hope amidst their turmoil. Yet, when the threads of their agreement unravel, Charlotte is left to navigate a world stained by loss and the bitter aftertaste of what might have been. As one chapter closes, another unfurls, revealing a narrative steeped in complexity and forbidden desires. Darling Venom is a poignant exploration of love's capacity to heal and harm, penned by Wall Street Journal bestseller Parker S. Huntington. Through the intertwined fates of Charlotte and the Marchetti brothers, Huntington crafts a tale that is as heart-wrenching as it is beautiful. With every turn of the page, readers are invited into a story that challenges the boundaries of love and the scars it leaves behind, all while navigating the treacherous waters of second chances. In this exquisitely painful ballet of longing and betrayal, Charlotte's journey asks if love, in its purest form, can ever truly be venomous, or if it is the antidote to a life marred by sorrow.
