The Darkness We Hold
Corinth's greatest king will not bow-not to gods, not to kings, and certainly not to death itself.
Sisyphus has always yearned for more. More power. More control. More life. A master of manipulation and cunning, he rules Corinth with brilliance, weaving schemes that leave both mortals and gods in awe-and fear. But his greatest ambition is yet to come: to unravel the chains of mortality itself.
In a world where death is inevitable and the gods reign supreme, Sisyphus dares to challenge the unchallengeable. Defying fate, mocking prophecy, and daring to steal the secrets of eternity, he risks everything to outwit the very forces that govern life and death.
How far can ambition take a man when the gods are watching-and what darkness will he uncover in his quest to overcome his own end?

Hades
They say gut feelings are your guardian angels, Ella Thomas will soon find out that hers was leading her to something she could never imagine existed. Hades has watched over Ella since the day she was born, he was her guardian angel from the depths of the underworld. For centuries he's waited, waited for someone to love. He vowed to himself to protect Ella and only watch from afar. She was so innocent and so human, he couldn't take that away from her. For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be.

Silas' hands caressed me carefully, while meticulously torturing me with every lick of his sly tongue. The image of Aries' eyes as he knelt down in front of me wandered into my mind, the tight grip of his hands as his tongue licked every inch of release off of me. My mind wandered to Demios' angry gaze while he pounded into me mercilessly, his hands gripping onto my thighs. I spread my legs a little farther, allowing my fingers to wander. I rubbed the aching spot while I moaned louder as the image of Hades' envious eyes watching me while Silas tied my hands back filled my head.

Hades
His body molds into mine perfectly from behind as he grasps my waist with cold hands. "Didn't I tell you who you belonged to?" His husky, dark voice flows through my ears as his hands travel slowly to my hips, leaving a trail of heat along the way. "I belong to no one." My tone wavers unsteadily, and I curse him for having control over me. He chuckles, a lovely sound coming from deep within his chest. Suddenly, our chests are flush against each other with his hand buried in my hair. "Oh, but you do. And intend to show you that." He whispers possessively, his lips crushing mine. ~~ The second book is out now! The Queen of Darkness. Check it out!Complete
