Hera is an assistant librarian in a college town. The community in her town of Lithia Bay, originally the Protected Bay of Lithia and Agrizia, was good and kind.
But Hera has shadows in her life- a dead aunt and a violent alcoholic uncle who loves nothing more than to torture her. She is wary of strangers. Her caution is warranted because when she meets two strangers who save her life and take her on a journey to the edge of the earth and beyond, all she knows and believes in is destroyed.
In danger of being a pawn in a game with consequences far worse than death, Hera must fight not only for her soul but her new home.

tides of the moon
She was a princess running from a destiny she didn't choose. He was a god of the tides, feared by mortals, worshiped by none. Lyara fled her gilded cage under a blood moon, only to find herself at the mercy of Kael-the immortal tide-born who should have been her destruction. Bound by prophecy, caught in a moonlit temple of forgotten gods, and forced into an alliance that could ignite war, their fates are entwined in ways neither can escape. He was the prophecy she was meant to destroy. She was the heir who could end him. Yet in the stillness of the temple, under the silver glow of the moon, desire flares. Power clashes with passion, fear with longing, and the lines between enemy and lover blur. "You were supposed to fear me... yet I'm the one who kneels before you." As kingdoms collapse, gods awaken, and the tides rise, Lyara must decide: will she fulfill the prophecy... or rewrite it with the god who has already claimed her heart?

The Curse of a Godess
"Kiss me." He whispers. "I-I don't know how...I've never done this before." I frantically whisper and tilt my head. My nose slightly brushes against his, and all of my instincts tell me to dive into him with the most passionate kiss I could create. I wanted to be closer, and feel every part of him against me. "Can I kiss you?" He asks through an intoxicating whisper. His lips teasingly hover over mine, and without thinking I finally press my lips against his. His lips matched mine perfectly like a puzzle, and I wrap my arms around his neck to pull him closer. His hands trail up my back, and the euphoric bursts of pleasure take my senses into over drive. He starts to part his lips, and his tongue slowly enters through my lips to play with mine. He tastes of sweet wine, and I feel my hands sliding up to grip his hair. I let out a slight moan into his lips, and my breath grows heavy. We part for a gasp of air before meeting back with more of my muffled moans. A faint thud-like sound catches my attention, and I start to pull away to see what made the sound. My lips retreat, and I take a faint breath before clearing my mind to think logically. As I pull away, his lips simply continue to kiss my chin and down my cheek. Another gasp slips from my lips, and this one echos through the hall. "I..I think...I...I heard something." I whisper as quietly as possible. He lightly pulls away to take a small breath before smiling. "I didn't hear anything. It's nothing." He pushes aside.... During the ancient times of Greece, lives the daughter of Demeter, Persephone. All her life has been sheltered from the mortal and immortal world. When her desire for a taste of freedom goes too far, she seals a deal with a man she will never escape... Enjoy this retelling of the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone! This is one of my favorite Greeks myths, and comment if you have any feedback! I'd love to hear from you 🖤Complete
