Venom's Alliance: Lethal Love

Venom’s Alliance: Lethal Love

Dedication:

For the girls who said they moved on from their first crush......and lied. Because deep down we all wondered what would happen if he came back. Well....

Jake did.

Welcome to Lethal Love.

You might want to sit down for this one.

Aira Blodwell

The night my apartment burned down, I thought I had lost everything but soon I realised something terrifying.

I had never really been safe. Not from my mother. Not from the secrets surrounding my father’s death and not from the dangerous world my brother had disappeared into.

And definitely not from him. Jake Lloyd.

I had spent years trying to forget him. Years trying to convince myself that the boy who kissed me once and shattered my heart had never mattered.

But when he came back into my life, standing too close, looking at me like I was the only thing he saw... and I realised the truth.

I never stopped loving him. And the most dangerous part?

He might never let me go again.

Jake Lloyd

I spent years pretending she didn’t exist.

Aira Blodwell was my best friend’s little sister. Too young. Too good. Too damn innocent for a man like me.

So I stayed away. Even when she followed me with those bright eyes. Even when she kissed me and nearly ruined me. Even when I started seeing her everywhere, every painting, every sculpture, every empty room in my house that somehow felt unfinished without her.

I told myself it was the right thing.

Until the night I almost died.

Because when you’re bleeding out, the truth gets real simple. You think about where you want to be. You think about the person you want to see one last time. For me, it was always her.

Aira.

She might think she’s walking into my life.

But the truth is… She’s been the centre of it all along.
