A lovestruck demigoddess, unaware of her royal status, makes a shocking discovery on her eighteenth birthday and attempts to flee to the underworld with Hades to escape Zeus's wrath. *******For years, Lexi Maxwell has endured the suffocating constraints of boarding school and chaperoned dances, and she is ready to detour from the perfect path her parents set her on. Luke Carrington is the swoon-worthy stranger who arrives to spice up her eighteenth birthday party, convincing Lexi that it's okay to ditch her uniform and spread her wings. Despite Luke's charm and intelligence, Lexi's family shrugs him off and refuses to tell her why. In her mind, the man has more to offer than any gel-headed boy she's met. Not only does he share her interest in Greek mythology, but he has devoted his life to helping people cope with death. What could be more admirable than that? When Lexi learns that her life has been a big fat lie, and the people claiming to be her family aren't who they say they are, she turns to Luke for solace. He is the only one who hasn't betrayed her, and he helps Lexi prove she isn't a little girl anymore. Once Luke earns her trust and her heart, Lexi is willing to follow him anywhere to keep him close. Even into the underworld.#1 on the Romance Hot List#1 in Greek MythologyNOW available as an AUDIOBOOK through HACHETTE AUDIO. COPYRIGHT NOTICE: This work is owned by the author.
