Cruel Seduction (Dark Olympus Book 5)

A modern retelling of the myths of Aphrodite and Hephaestus, along with Pandora and Adonis. Aphrodite marries Olympus's enemy number one, the new Hephaestus, as part of a calculated plan. She intends to seduce Pandora, the woman Hephaestus cares about most, to keep him off-balance. Hephaestus responds by involving Aphrodite's ex, Adonis, in his own seduction strategy. As both parties use seduction as a weapon against each other, the line between strategy and genuine emotion blurs. What begins as calculated moves takes on real feeling, complicating their dynamic. Meanwhile, unrest in Olympus intensifies, and their personal games risk serious consequences for themselves, their city, and those they care about.
