Tryst Six Venom by Penelope Douglas
(Standalone) 

A spicy sapphic new adult romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas — now with bonus material.

Marymount girls are good girls. Even if they weren’t, no one would know — because girls like Clay Collins keep their mouths shut. Always in control, she owns the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to her knees like the good Catholic girl she is on Sunday. What she wants, she has to hide. And what she wants is something she has never let herself admit.

Liv Jaeger crosses the tracks every day for one reason: to graduate and get into the Ivy League. But Clay — with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents — torments her daily, certain that Liv won’t fight back. At least not until Liv gets Clay alone and discovers she’s hiding so much more than what’s underneath those pretty clothes.

Liv told Clay to stay on her side of town. But one night, Clay doesn’t listen. And once Liv is done with her, she’ll never be a good girl again.
