Queen Takes Rose
Katee Robert
In the dangerous underworld of Carver City, Aurora is a formidable leader whose hard-won power has transformed her into someone both feared and respected. With her contract with Hades nearing its end, an unexpected offer from Malone forces her to reconsider the bargains, loyalties, and desires that have shaped her life. As old chemistry and new danger collide, Aurora must decide how much she is willing to risk for control, freedom, and a chance at something deeper. This darkly seductive romance explores power, trust, chosen bonds, and the thrilling cost of playing by one’s own rules.

A Touch of Malice
Scarlett St. Clair
In the modern city of New Athens, journalism student Persephone has built a life of independence while concealing her divine heritage—and honoring her mother Demeter’s command to stay away from the gods. But a visit to Hades’s notorious nightclub leads her into a perilous bargain: she must create life in the Underworld or surrender herself to its god forever. As tensions rise among gods and mortals, Persephone must navigate dangerous secrets, divine power struggles, and her increasingly irresistible attraction to Hades. Steamy and imaginative, this contemporary Greek-mythology retelling explores forbidden love, freedom, destiny, and the price of wielding power.

A Game of Retribution
Scarlett St. Clair
Hades, God of the Dead, is bound by rules he refuses to break—even when Hera demands his aid in a dangerous scheme against Zeus. When he rejects her offer, she retaliates by forcing him into a series of perilous labors involving mythical monsters, deadly artifacts, and challenges that test the limits of his power. As Hades fights to complete each task, Persephone faces a crisis of her own, struggling to embrace her place as Queen of the Underworld. A dark, romantic fantasy of divine politics, loyalty, retribution, and the fragile balance between love and duty.

A Game of Gods
Scarlett St. Clair
As Hades prepares to marry Persephone, their hard-won happiness is threatened by the dangerous forces gathering around the gods and their mortal world. Told from Hades’s perspective, this companion novel to *A Touch of Malice* reveals what he—and fellow gods Dionysus and Theseus—were facing during the events of the previous installment. Blending Greek mythology, romance, political intrigue, and impending conflict, the story explores devotion, power, fate, and the sacrifices demanded by love.
