Hercules

She can write about anything but trust.
He can believe in anything but love.

Drowning the past...
Ten years after a mysterious curse drove him to commit the unthinkable sin, Hercules of Thebes is still a haunted man. He's traveled the realms to atone for his nightmares-never expecting a dream to fall into his path again.
But here she is.
At a silly speed dating event, of all things.

Writing for her future...
Lois Lance, named after the most intrepid femme reporter of all, makes ends meet as a dazzling look-a-like for her pop starlet employer-but she's certain her luck is bound to run out. At the DeLux Café's speed dating party, her suspicions prove true. Swept into a fantastical realm by a daunting stranger, she must accept that demons and demigods are real-especially the captor who saves her life and awakens her body.

As the adventure intensifies, Herc and Lois must learn how to shatter personal defenses, expose sacred secrets, and trust each other with painful parts of themselves. But will the vulnerability make them strong enough to outsmart an Underworld lunatic-or will love prove their greatest downfall of all?

Hercules is book thirty-six in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld shared world, featuring a haunted demigod, a take-no-BS writer, and more.
