Fans of spicy retellings of the Hades and Persephone myth will love this version, which puts its own unique twist on the tale.
Lexi Maxwell has grown up surrounded by wealth and privilege, but also by rules. The rare moments of freedom that Lexi enjoys come when she's out riding, but even then there are strictures on where she can go-and with whom.
When she arrives home for a weekend-long celebration in honor of her college graduation, Lexi is surprised by the number of eligible bachelors who vie for her attention. She doesn't have a lot of experience with the opposite sex, but these loudmouth, arrogant boys fail to impress her.
Enter the mysterious Luke Carrington. She is instantly drawn to him, but despite his charm and intelligence, her parents and godfather warn her to stay away from him. Lexi, however, cannot be deterred.
When Lexi learns that her life has been one long lie, and the people claiming to be her family aren't who they say they are, she turns to Luke for solace. It doesn't take long for him to earn her trust-and her heart-and suddenly Lexi is willing to follow him anywhere to keep him close. Even into the underworld . . . Morgan Rider is a romance author and a writing mentor. Her most popular work, a trilogy highlighting the escapades of the modern Greek gods, has seen over 40 million reads, which includes her debut novel, A Goddess Unravelled. She also enjoyed a Watty win for her YA story Neon Girl. Morgan grew up feral under the glitzy Las Vegas lights and now lives in mostly sunny Florida where she still orders her drinks with extra sugar on the rim.
