Publisher Description
He was mine to protect. Mine to adore. Mine to lose forever.
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Poseidon and Icarus.*
Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen…right into the rough hands of Olympus’s own Poseidon. Being held captive by the gentle giant wouldn’t be so bad if Olympus wasn’t on the eve of destruction…or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes.
Poseidon doesn't have time to babysit his increasingly bratty prisoner, but he has no choice: Olympus is officially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm's way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for his sworn enemy...and the more he realizes that Icarus isn’t the villain he's been made out to be. There's a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds difficult to ignore or deny.
Now with Circe and the Aeaens at the gate and Olympus a hair's breadth away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a difficult choice: about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber only to threaten to break it for good...

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The sizzling eighth installment of bestseller Robert's blockbuster Dark Olympus series (after Dark Restraint) expands on her dark and sexy take on Greek mythology. The wall separating the dystopian city-state of Olympus, which is ruled by a council of 13 corrupt politicians, from the rest of the world has fallen, leaving the city vulnerable to attack from the Aeaeans. Aeaea-born Icarus is trapped in Olympus after having helped his sister, Ariadne, and her lover, the Minotaur, flee. He's captured by Poseidon, one of the three legacy members of the council, who sees the Aeaeans as mortal enemies. Despite this inauspicious start, the men quickly uncover their explosive chemistry in the face of extreme danger from those who want one or both of them dead. The sex scenes are steamy as ever, and Robert uses a clever conceit to get new or forgetful readers up to speed on her ever-widening worldbuilding: the events of past books are summarized in pithy tabloid headlines. This series is still going strong.
