From The Publisher:

A single night with Megaera and I'm willing to do anything to save her from Hades, the man holding her captive, victim to his every whim.A bargain with the devil himself seems a small price to pay in order for Megaera to go free… Until I learn that she's exactly where she wants to be.

She's Queen to Hades's King. And I'm the fool that walked right into their trap. The same fool who desires them both as much as I hate them. I can't resist Megaera's touch-or stop from being drawn to Hades's dark desires.

By the time I realize just how deep a game he's playing, it may be too late…For all of us.

I was surprised that I ended up quite liking this one although not sure how I feel about Hades. Think this series has a quite fun spin on the whole fairytale/Disney retailing and quite addicting. Not my favorite in the series though. Have one more book to go I think as I've read them out of order
