Hades

I let a room full of gods believe Persephone was mine, because it was the only way to keep her alive. To her, I’m just the monster she needs to kill my brother. She doesn’t know that from the moment I saw her, I wanted to hide her away. She doesn’t know she’s undoing every ounce of self control I’ve spent centuries building. And she has no idea that every time I tell her no, I’m thinking about throwing her into my room and keeping her there forever. I’m cold, I’m possessive and I would gladly burn the world to keep her safe. And saying no to her gets harder every single day.

Persephone

For thousands of years I’ve hidden on my mother’s island from what Zeus did to me. Then a new god is born from my lost son’s heart and when I go to Olympus to see if he’s come back to me, Zeus tells me I have no son. So I’m going to kill him. There’s just one problem: I can’t kill Zeus alone. Hades, the one god every other god fears, has carried me off to the Underworld to keep me out of his brother’s reach. But behind every calm refusal there’s a monster; possessive, ruthless and impossible to read. He keeps telling me no. He doesn’t realise I’ve already chosen him as my monster.

But as my revenge drags the heavens closer to civil war, the biggest danger is how far my monster will go to keep me.

A standalone with a happy ending in the Deadly Bargains with Wicked Gods world. You don’t need to have read the other books to read this one.
