The Hades Trials

I've been kidnapped by Zeus, plucked from the streets of Manhattan and frightened half to death by a freaking Olympian god. Now I'm trapped in the Underworld, forced to compete in a series of deadly trials for the position of Queen of the Underworld — which would mean marrying Hades, the utterly terrifying Lord of the Dead. Who the hell wants a husband at all, let alone one made of smoke and riddled with death? I have to get back home, to New York and my brother. But I can't leave without completing the trials, and they've been designed for a godly queen, not Persephone — a barista and botanical garden enthusiast. I'm surrounded by lethal, all-powerful maniacs. Sexy-as-hell maniacs, sure, but as dangerous as they come. I'm going to have to prove to all of them that there's a goddess of hell inside me; it's the only way I'll survive the Hades Trials. But then what? And why, why, why am I so desperate to see under Hades' smoky exterior and find out what he's hiding from me? If I win the trials, I have to marry the devil himself. But losing might mean losing my life.
