LOVE. For advertising copywriter Holly Carmichael life has been a series of near misses. When a major career disappointment catapults her from snowbound Jersey City to a yoga retreat in balmy Thailand, will she find happiness in the arms of cute cartoonist Johnny Highnote, or will this be yet another “almost”?

     Hayden—Hades and hated god of the Underworld—didn't expect to fall for a mysterious beauty full of secrets when he enrolled at Northwood High School. He only came to claim the dark souls stolen from his domain that are now possessing Hartley’s friends. Somehow she’s able to see them and all the terrifyingly supernatural things about Hayden. Her friends begin to act strange—cruel with sinister black eyes—and suspicions arise in Hartley the closer she gets to Hayden. She’s determined to find out who or what he really is no matter the consequences... if she can resist his fiery touch long enough to concentrate. After having his heart broken in the past and her trying to cling to her life before death, including her perfect quarterback boyfriend, both Hayden and Hartley deny the sparking chemistry between them. But when he realizes Hartley’s secrets are darker than he thought and the evil souls are drawn to her like a beacon he vows to protect her—even if it means risking his heart. Just when they think they have it all figured out, fate deals them a blow that might set them both ablaze in Underworld fire forever. **Intended for audiences 16+**
