Luther Hades has
always been my family’s sworn enemy. He’s the opposite of everything we stand
for—ruthless to the core.
I’m not afraid of
him. It’s my mother who cowers and hides. All my life, she’s hidden me from
him. Hidden me from the world. Not anymore.
I’ve planned my
escape down to the last detail. But two steps outside the safety of my mother’s
house, the devil comes calling. And nobody hears me scream.

Little Sepphie
Anthela doesn’t know she’s in danger. That her fool of a lover has betrayed
her. That her adorable plan is a death sentence.
She doesn’t know how
men look at her.
And she doesn’t know
the lengths I’m willing to go to protect her. She’ll be safe in my underground
kingdom—even if it kills me.
KING OF SHADOWS is a
dirty and dark contemporary retelling of Hades & Persephone. It’s the
underworld, after all.

Excerpt
“Are you going to
kill me now?”
My men step up
behind her, but she doesn’t dare turn her head. Two of them hook their arms
under Decker’s and drag him past us, giving us a wide berth. Her eyes follow
his slumped body. The man won’t shut up. All the groaning, the whining—fucking
pathetic.
“You said you would
do anything to save him. That was your bargain. Are you telling me you’d rather
be dead?”
A flicker of fear is
chased off her face by a nameless expression, a light flaring in her eyes. She
glances down at Conor, the whites of her eyes glowing in the moonlight. “No,”
she whispers. “I want to live.”
I lean in close,
bending down so my lips are level with my ear. Her heart beats hard under my
fingertips. She smells sweet, like roses and sunshine and something unique to
her. It must be the fresh softness of her. Fuck, the things I’m going to do to
her, dangling her not-boyfriend on a string as if she’ll ever be anything but
mine. The urge to throw her down into the dirt is so strong it almost overtakes
me, but now that all this has transpired, it’s best for the train to move on.
I’m no longer interested in dealing with Demeter tonight—not now that I have
her daughter for my very own.
The poor thing.
“We’ll see how long
that lasts.”
