Temptress of Fire and Fury
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, was given to Hephaestus in marriage. She has long admired the God of Fire for his quiet nature and his brilliant mind.
But Hephaestus is not interested in marriage and after one passionate night together, he releases Aphrodite from any expectation of fidelity.
For centuries, the rejection leaves Aphrodite uncertain and shaken in her purpose. As a distraction, she strikes bargains to prove that true love does not exist—except that everyone around her seems to be finding their soulmate.
Determined to confirm her beliefs, Aphrodite accepts a new bargain, but this agreement is not like the others, and soon, she discovers that she must fulfill the terms. Worse, failing could mean losing the only chance she’s ever had at love.

Scarlett St. Clair
Scarlett St. Clair didn’t set out to reinvent Greek mythology—she simply asked the kind of questions that myths had left unanswered for centuries. What if Persephone wasn’t a passive figure? What if Hades, the god of the Underworld, wasn’t the villain? From those questions bloomed a literary world where ancient legends are unspooled into something darkly sensual, unapologetically modern, and irresistibly addictive.
A bestselling fantasy and paranormal romance author, St. Clair has cultivated a fiercely loyal readership with her Hades x Persephone saga and its sister series, Hades Saga and Adrian x Isolde. Her work is known for weaving rich mythological lore with contemporary dilemmas—power, consent, trauma, and love—all delivered through prose that simmers with tension and desire. She doesn’t shy away from exploring the gray spaces between right and wrong, nor does she dilute the potency of her heroines. Instead, she invites readers to witness women who claim their own agency in worlds where darkness is both a threat and a source of strength.
