"Doctor Kal Anderson assumes his heart worked at some point in his life. But at thirty-two years old, the organ in his chest seems to play a mechanical role at best. His cold, emotionless existence gives him an edge as a fixer and in-house physician for the Mafia, while his judgment is impartial and complication-free.

Until Elena Ricci, his boss’s twenty-year-old daughter.

After admiring the heartless doctor from afar most of her life, Elena catches him in a moment of weakness, and the pair shares a night of passion as they attempt to work each other from their systems. Only, the night seems to have the opposite effect. Elena is no longer a simple temptation to Kal, but a necessity.

An obsession.

One he won’t let anyone stand in his way of—even if that means crashing her wedding to another man, forcing her hand in marriage, and stealing her away to the corrupt island he resides on.

Alone with the man of her nightmares for the first time ever, Elena starts to chip away at the layers of ice surrounding his hardened heart. But the warmth and depravity from her new husband may not be worth the secrets unveiled, or the lives that will forever be altered.

Promises and Pomegranates is a standalone dark romance inspired by Hades and Persephone. 
Though it is not necessary, it is highly recommended to read their short prequel, Sweet Sin, before diving in.

Promises and Pomegranates

Aiden

From the second I saw her, I knew she’d be my ruin.

Sitting all alone at the bar, she looked like an angel.

Eurydice in human form; her beauty eclipsed by demons.

Now, I’m one of them.

The ghost she’s tried for years to escape.

Thinking I wouldn’t be able to find her.

But I never stopped trying, and now that I have,

Her past sins should be the least of her worries.

Riley

From the moment he saw me, I knew I’d ruin his life.

Alone at the bar, I dared the monster to come and play.

Orpheus in the flesh, with his sad songs and strange obsessions.

I became one of them.

The siren who calls to the darkest parts of him.

Only, I disappeared before he could act on it.

But now he’s here,

and he wants me to repent for my sins.
