Synopsis

She sacrificed everything for her people.
He will do whatever it takes to save himself.
Their marriage is the last hope for peace.

In a world where mortals and Olympians are at war, Hebe has only known suffering. Her fate changes completely, though, when she goes to the altar to sacrifice herself for the sake of her village. Suddenly, she is wed to a god who dislikes her almost as much as she can’t stand him. However, their marriage might just be the one thing that can prove peace is possible between their peoples . . . if they don’t kill each other first.

Prometheus is fighting on the wrong side. That is, the one that isn’t the most beneficial to him. Before he can free himself from the one immortal campaigning for humanity, though, he finds himself bound to the most frustrating of mortals. He has no intention of making their marriage work as he plays the long game. But when they are sent to Olympus in search of a new weapon Zeus intends to release on the mortals, Prometheus sees his chance to steal a new life for himself. That is, if his new wife doesn’t steal his heart first. But only the most foolish of immortals lets themselves fall in love. And only complete and utter folly could drive anyone to steal from the King of Olympus himself . . .
