About this book

Stephanie is a brilliant digital forensics expert who desperately needs a break from her obsessive pursuit of justice in a cold case, so a tropical Greek vacation seems like exactly what she needs to reset. Instead, she meets a mysterious man who casually claims to be Hades himself—and somehow, impossibly, he's telling the truth. What unfolds is a swoon-worthy, modern take on the Persephone myth that perfectly blends paranormal intrigue with the kind of irresistible slow-burn romance that'll have you swooning through every page. If you love stories where ancient gods crash into contemporary life with all the chemistry and chaos that entails, this one's absolutely for you.
