Octavia. That's the name the world knows her by. One word. One name. At seventeen, she was a girl who had her spotlight when she was whisked away to co-star in what would be an award-winning movie. From that moment on, she had never strayed away. Now, at 24, Octavia is a star and has found herself in multiple productions. As she finds herself in Milan, Italy for a new and upcoming movie she is cast in, she crosses paths with Caleb Henderson, the famous writer known to the world as Romero Henderson. However, as the production of the movie begins, Octavia immediately decides her opinion of Caleb. She doesn't like him. She borderline hates him. She hates how annoying he is. She hates the stupid, random topics he always brings up. She hates how he almost always cuts her off whenever she's speaking. She hates how attracted she is to him. I exhaled, trying to rub the tiredness off my face with my hands. I looked down at his shadow on the ground to him. His face looked as if it was glowing from the sun, his eyes narrowing from the brightness. I let my gaze trail from the exposed tattoos on his arms to the stupid smile that was still on his face. "Why are you like this?" For a moment he didn't answer me. He simply glanced at me, knowing that I meant more in the five words. The smile on his face went from pure amusement to bitterness. It was something I had never seen before and I didn't think I wanted to see him smile like that ever again. He pivoted his head towards the sun once again and in a serious tone asked, "Would you have me any other way?" Cover: @EmSlough_

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.
