Love Underground: Persephone's Tale — Alicia Fields

Persephone is a goddess adored by all. But her powerful mother's warning to "watch out for strangers" has narrowed her field of suitors considerably. Then, Persephone meets the dark, mysterious lord of the underworld--and discovers a passion of mythic dimensions...

Young Persephone is the most beautiful maiden in Hellas. But all the boys are scared away by her mother, Demeter, whose mysterious powers must have come from the gods.


Only Hermes has enough nerve to court Persephone. He's the type of bad boy her mother has warned her about--a troublemaker who runs around with all the other girls. So Persephone keeps her distance, and spends her days picking flowers and living a sheltered life.

At first, she rejects his advances--but Hades is wealthy and powerful. Courting Persephone as no man has ever dared before, he brings her to the wondrously startling revelation that bad boys can be fun...
