29 parts Complete
As the Goddess of Ghosts, Melinoë struggled to make friends growing up that weren't already dead. Melinoë, the only child of Hades and Persephone, the rulers of the Underworld, is a few centuries shy of her two-thousandth birthday, yes she's never been in a relationship, had her first kiss or the other things that follow. When she's paired up as a bridesmaid with Marcus, the broken-hearted groomsman, she's drawn to their similarities. As their friendship grows and Marcus starts self-medicating his sadness, she's asked to spend more time with him and help him get back on track considering she's the only one that can seem to make him smile lately. Marcus Brown is a mortal, twin-brother to Julie Brown who is friends-with-benefits with Hermes, a greek god. He's also friends with Danika Evantin, formally Warren, a new goddess and soulmate of Apollo, who also happened to be his old Classics professor, Dr. Paul Evantin. Marcus has been in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend Molly for nearly a decade, but when she suddenly breaks up with him without an explanation and ghosts him, he's heartbroken and doesn't deal with the breakup well. With Danika and Apollo's wedding around the corner, Marcus and Melinoë are introduced as wedding-party partners. Will the growing friendship with the Goddess of Ghosts be the perfect distraction to help Marcus heal from the ghosts of his past, or will it only make things worse as new feelings start to form? Find out in Melinoë's Ghost, Book Three of the Immortal Love series!

A goddess is taken to the underworld as the king's bride; her father knew everything and her mother knew nothing. In this retelling of the Hymn of Demeter, mother and daughter will do whatever it takes to free themselves, no matter the cost. Book I of The Triple Moons' Chronicles * Up in the sky, in a world between myths and lies, lives a daughter caged on an island. She is Persephone. The beautiful Persephone, whom every Olympian god wants to marry-they all want her beauty to conceal their ugliest secrets, but only Hades manages to take her to his realm. He dwells below the earth, across the river Styx, between Tartarus and the Isle of Blest. No mortals can see his forbidden land until they pass away. Forced into marriage by her father Zeus, Persephone would resign from her fate. But when her grieving mother, Demeter, comes close to killing all the mortals, Zeus orders her back to her homeland. Given and returned against her will, Persephone takes charge of her life and eats six pomegranate seeds before leaving. Food from the underworld can't be eaten as it will tie one to the land. As her decision pushes her closer together and apart from her loved ones, Persephone's destiny turns worse. Only she may have the power to change her world for the better. *** CW: While written in a lyrical style, this story is advised for mature audiences only.
