Worse, if someone finds out he used magic for any kind of gain, his personal and professional reputations might never recover.Fortunately, his best friend and downstairs neighbor—not to mention the man he’s quietly wanted for the past five years—is smart and level-headed. If anyone can help Matt out of this fiasco, it’s Cory Miller.Except while Cory’s happy to help Matt get rid of the pint-sized magical idiots, the only way they’re leaving is if they succeed in finding someone for Matt to love.

There are two things I’ve always known: Magic is real. The Gods have no mercy for women like me. I was born into power although what little I have is dying. Nonetheless, I’ve been protected all my life. There are myths and tales that say one day I will come to a fork in a long, long path. Either the light will take me or the dark. I never paid any mind to the whispers and warnings… Until he crept into my window late at night. Cloaked in darkness, silent as death. Every inch of me felt terror and yet I also felt something else. Something I’d never known. He tasted like sin … and I loved it. In a single moment, my entire world went dark and I was nothing more than a captive in the Underworld. Nothing but his and suddenly all the lore brought a chill to my bones… even if he did light a fire in the most secret depths of me. Prepare for a dark retelling of Hades and Persephone with spells and war and a love story that would change our world forevermore.Mostra libro
