Tryst Six Venom

by Penelope Douglas

Penelope Douglas delivers a raw, unflinching sapphic enemies-to-lovers where class warfare, Catholic school politics, and internalized homophobia collide - the hate-fueled tension between Clay and Olivia is electric, and the payoff when walls finally crumble is devastating in the best way.
