"According to the ancient legend, the Lord of the Dead kidnapped the innocent daughter of Demeter--or did he? The truth is, Persephone is no damsel in distress, but a spirited young lady with an overbearing mother. A failed scheme by Apollo leads her to a chance encounter with the mysterious and handsome yet dispassionate Hades, who instantly appeals to her--right as he's struck by love's arrow. Now he must wrestle with his aching heart before he loses total control of his feelings, but desire is already roaring inside Persepone herself. This sensual take on Greek mythology is tailored for modern sensibilities--and as a comic evolution of the romance novel format, is a sweet-and-spicy treat for older audiences who choose to bite."--Provided by publisher
