A touch of darkness

Persephone is the goddess of spring in the title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shiveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an anassuming live disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnoticand mysterious stranger.

Hades, god of the dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world, and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.

After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the god of dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create live in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the god of dead grows- a love that is both captivating and forbidden.
