"I was his wife. His lover. His sworn enemy. The ice queen to Olympus's most hated king. *A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hera and Zeus.* The barrier that's protected Olympus for generations has fallen. The enemy's breached the gates and the Thirteen are scrambling to protect themselves, their loved ones, and the city they've sworn to protect. At least they would be if they weren't at each others' throats instead. Hera has no intention of letting her husband, Zeus, survive the oncoming storm. But despite the white-hot hatred burning between them, when Hera and Zeus are forced to work together, enmity crystalizes into something brighter. Hotter. Too powerful to deny or destroy. Hera never bartered on falling in love with the man she married-the man she once swore to kill. But now, standing back-to-back in the ruins of Olympus, she may be forced to admit that she's been wrong about Zeus all these years...and there may be something about their marriage worth saving if they can survive long enough to turn sworn enemies into something more"-- Provided by publisher.

"She was Olympus's Queen. Its sacrifice. Its savior. Its destruction. Long ago, Circe was Hermes's entire heart. The two women lived on the outskirts of Olympian society, content with a quiet life away from the spotlight. Then Circe caught the eye of Zeus...and was forced into a marriage that would take her freedom, her future, and in the end, her life. In the wake of the tragedy, gossip swirled about the woman Zeus married and (allegedly) murdered... but in time, everyone forgot about beautiful, tragic Circe. Everyone but Hermes, who vowed on that day to bring Olympus to its knees. Now, fifteen years later, a new Zeus rules the city, a new Hades protects his people, a new hope dawns... and Hermes has begun to think there may be things about Olympus worth saving. With Atalanta by her side--and slowly rebuilding her heart--Hermes may finally be ready to set aside her fury and seek the city's rebirth instead of its total annihilation. But there is a beautiful devil on Hermes' other shoulder: a devil who rose, blood-soaked, from where Zeus left her for dead years ago. A devil who has waited all this time to have her revenge. And no matter their past, no matter the desperate love they once shared, no matter the complicated triad forming between the three women, Circe will not rest until all of Olympus lays shattered at her feet... and the gods help anyone who gets in her way. A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hermes and Atalanta and Circe"--

"The Chapmans do Christmas the way they do everything: impeccably, expensively, and with the unshakable belief that good lighting can conceal bad blood. Their annual Christmas card may look picture-perfect, but behind the polite smiles there's a storm brewing. This year, at their grand lakefront cottage on Mackinac Island, a snowstorm traps generations of Chapmans--and their schemes--under one roof. Chris Chapman is on the verge of losing everything: his father's trust, his role at the helm of the family business, and his wife's respect. Kat Chapman is already fed up with hosting her critical, stuck-up in-laws and their impossibly inflexible holiday traditions. Her solution? Invite her working-class parents--born and bred Islanders--for Christmas, much to the horror of the Chapmans, whose rule that 'We do not share Christmas with other people' is about to be broken. As the snow piles up, so do the grievances: their children--fiercely liberal Leah and conservative golden-boy Chip--are locked in a battle of wits, Chris's vaguely corrupt brother Cormac and his calculating trophy wife are stirring the pot, and Kat's mother is holding onto a secret that could upend the entire game"--
