Steam: Steam Level 5

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.

“Let me worship you,” he said.
She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. “You will worship me, and I won’t even have to order you.” His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.
She answered, “Yes.”

Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.

Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can’t resist.

After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone’s failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows—a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

“FROM DUST”:

Pain punished her…
The bottle numbed her…
Guilt kept her trapped…

In the dark alley of a pub, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her.

He never expected the shadow of a woman he finds in his bar, to bring him the air and the light he’s been missing.

*****

“CRUEL WATER”

Innocence marked her…
Violation crippled her…
Love left her raw…

The life she carefully rebuilt is challenged when she is faced with her past, leaving her exposed and vulnerable.

No stranger to hiding pain, he questions his own rules of detachment, as the feisty blonde with old pain marring her clear-blue eyes, gets under his skin.

*****

“THROUGH FIRE”

Violence corroded her…
Obedience defiled her…
Fear kept her chained…

Freedom is hard to embrace when she’s never learned to trust or known friendship. Yet she finds herself surrounded by people who accept her as she is.

He likes his life predictable and uncomplicated, but the moment he looks into a pair of liquid brown eyes, all control is gone.

*****

“STILL AIR”

Deprival haunted her…
Regret troubled her…
Silence left her detached…

She soothes her personal hell by pulling victims from theirs, helping them on their path to survival; never finding her own.

When he finds his family slipping through his fingers, he calls on the one person who has the ability to heal and the power to break him: the woman who sees right through him.
