Cruel Seduction

Greek myths get unspeakably hot new twists in this contemporary series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert

Aphrodite, formerly Eris Kaisos, has never flinched at getting her perfectly manicured hands dirty, and she’s not about to start now—even if that means marrying Olympus’s enemy number one, the new Hephaestus. But she’s smart and savvy, and she has every intention of following her brother’s directive to keep her new husband distracted while she finds out everything she can about his plans. She knows just the way, too—by seducing the one person he seems to care about most in this world. Pandora, a woman as beautiful as she is sweet.

Two can play the seduction game, and Hephaestus, formerly Theseus Xenakis, is all too happy to put his new wife in her place. Her ex, Adonis, seems like he’ll do the trick; he’s certainly angry and hurt enough to be easy pickings for a man like Hephaestus. It doesn’t hurt that he’s gorgeous in the way of fallen angels, either.

The only problem with using seduction as a weapon? Hearts are all too quick to get involved. With Hephaestus and Aphrodite trading venomous strikes that feel a whole lot like foreplay, lines become blurred and emotions entangled. But a broken heart may be the least of their worries. With unrest in Olympus reaching new heights and a dangerous enemy circling the city’s failing boundary, their bedroom games will have deadly consequences for everyone involved.
