Lightning crackled in my eyes and jumped around my fists. ❝Zeus is fallen. I am Hercules. I stand in his place.❞ The giantess snorted, leering down at me, yellow teeth like bricks. ❝Another dead hero.❞ ❝Yes. But not today.❞ * * * Hercules has fucking had it. Olympus' hero has just been double-crossed by his stepmother, Hera, and now Herc's future throne is promised to his dastardly half-brother. Fed up with the family drama, Herc goes on a permanent vacay to the human realm. In the land of Twitter and cheeseburgers, he doesn't have to worry about three-headed dogs or the constant threat of the Underworld-where Hera is determined to send him. Herc has finally found something on Earth he never had in Mount Olympus. Something better than lightning, ambrosia, and sex with nymphs combined. Meagan is the only girl who's ever brought Herc to his knees-and he'll be damned if he lets her go. Literally.
