Part of Dark Olympus, book 5
First published 2023
Aphrodite never expected to marry Hephaestus, Olympus's most dangerous enemy. Now she's trapped in a union she despises with a man she swore to destroy. Her strategy is simple: seduce Pandora, the sweet and beautiful woman Hephaestus cares about most. But Hephaestus refuses to play victim. He strikes back by targeting Adonis, Aphrodite's gorgeous ex-lover who looks like a fallen angel. What begins as calculated revenge turns into something neither anticipated. Each seductive move feels more like foreplay than warfare. Their hearts betray their plans as emotions tangle with strategy. The bedroom becomes their battlefield, but their games carry risks beyond broken hearts. Olympus teeters on the edge of chaos, and their personal war threatens to destroy not just themselves but everyone they've learned to love. The city's fate hangs in the balance as two immortals discover that using seduction as a weapon can backfire in the most dangerous ways.
