Publisher Description
I was his wife. His lover. His sworn enemy. The ice queen to Olympus’s most hated king.
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hera and Zeus.*
The barrier that’s protected Olympus for generations has fallen. The enemy’s breached the gates and the Thirteen are scrambling to protect themselves, their loved ones, and the city they’ve sworn to protect. At least they would be if they weren’t at each others’ throats instead.
Hera has no intention of letting her husband, Zeus, survive the oncoming storm. But despite the white-hot hatred burning between them, when Hera and Zeus are forced to work together, enmity crystalizes into something brighter. Hotter. Too powerful to deny or destroy.
Hera never bartered on falling in love with the man she married—the man she once swore to kill. But now, standing back-to-back in the ruins of Olympus, she may be forced to admit that she’s been wrong about Zeus all these years…and there may be something about their marriage worth saving if they can survive long enough to turn sworn enemies into something more.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Robert deftly expands the lore of her bestselling Dark Olympus series while keeping the romance sizzling in this exciting ninth installment (after Sweet Obsession). For the first time, the barrier that protects the dystopian city of Olympus from the outside world has fallen, and, following a successful coup staged by Zeus, there's chaos among the ruling council of 13 so-called gods. Ruthless power grabs have become the norm—but for Zeus and Hera, the most high-stakes power plays happen at home. Hera has been plotting to kill Zeus since before they married, but as they're forced to work together, sexual chemistry sparks. Hera's scheming is further complicated when she realizes she's pregnant. Robert cheekily dedicates this installment to "every single person who cursed me for Zeus and Hera being book nine instead of book three," and devoted readers will find it was well worth the wait. Robert brings her A game to their red-hot enemies-to-lovers romance before leaving things off on a tantalizing cliffhanger. This series shows no signs of slowing down.
