About HADES:
A fallen angel with a mean streak and a mohawk, Hades has spent thousands of years serving as Jailor of the Underworld. The souls he guards are as evil as they come, but few dare to cross him. All of that changes when a sexy fallen angel infiltrates his prison and unintentionally starts a riot. It’s easy enough to quell an uprising, but for the first time, Hades is torn between delivering justice — or bestowing mercy — on the beautiful female who could be his salvation…or his undoing.
Thanks to her unwitting participation in another angel’s plot to start Armageddon, Cataclysm was kicked out of Heaven and is now a fallen angel in service of Hades’s boss, Azagoth. All she wants is to redeem herself and get back where she belongs. But when she gets trapped in Hades’s prison domain with only the cocky but irresistible Hades to help her, Cat finds that where she belongs might be in the place she least expected…
Excerpt:
Somewhere outside
Azagoth’s Greek-style mansion, a bird of prey screeched. Cat loved hearing it.
Not long ago, Sheoul-gra had been a dead realm, a physical manifestation of
Azagoth’s emotional state. Dark and dreary, the “Gra,” as it was sometimes called,
had resembled a toxic wasteland that couldn’t support any animal or plant life
that wasn’t straight out of Hell itself.
But Lilliana’s love
had changed Azagoth, and with it, his realm.
Now, when Cat
strolled outside the palace, the grounds and buildings surrounding it teemed
with life, from the lush grass, leafy green trees, and sparkling water, to
rabbits, birds, and even the occasional fox or deer.
Smiling, she put
down her feathered duster and headed from Azagoth’s pool room toward the
mansion’s entrance, and as she rounded a corner, she collided with a body.
A huge, muscular
body.
Hades.
An instant, hot
tingle pricked her skin as she leaped backward, crashing into something behind
her. She heard something break, but at the moment, it didn’t matter.
This was the first
time she’d touched Hades. The first time her ability to sense good and evil as
a physical symptom on the surface of her skin had triggered. At least, it was
the first time with Hades.
She’d always
suspected he’d give off an intense blast of evil, but she hadn’t expected the
evil to be tempered by a ribbon of goodness. She also hadn’t expected to be
so...aroused by the vibes he gave off. Then again, merely looking at him
aroused her, so why wouldn’t touching him do the same?
He stood there,
bare-chested and wearing a skin-tight pair of silver pants that showed every
ropey muscle and presented that impressive bulge at his groin like a gift.
Criminy, he might as well be naked. She wished he was naked.
“E-excuse me,” she
squeaked.
He looked down at
her, one corner of his perfect mouth tipped up in a half-smile. Which was a
first. Everyone seemed to get smiles but her.
