A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair (Hades x Persephone Saga Book 1)

Persephone has always been the Goddess of Spring in name only.

Flowers wither at her touch, and despite her divinity, she longs for a normal life away from the expectations of Olympus.

Hiding among mortals in New Athens, she works as a journalist, determined to live quietly and unnoticed. That illusion shatters the night she enters a forbidden nightclub and crosses paths with a dark, magnetic stranger.

Hades. God of the Dead. Ruler of the Underworld. A man whose presence feels like temptation wrapped in danger. Hades has built a powerful empire in the mortal world, and he never loses a bet. Until Persephone offers him something he cannot resist.

What begins as a single encounter quickly turns into a binding contract — one with impossible terms. Persephone must prove her power by creating life in the Underworld… or lose her freedom forever. As she struggles to meet Hades’ demands, desire coils tighter between them.

What should be a cold bargain becomes something far more dangerous: a forbidden love that threatens to consume them both. Drawn to the darkness she was never meant to touch, Persephone must decide whether she’s willing to embrace the Underworld — and the god who rules it.

A dark, sensual reimagining of the Hades and Persephone myth, filled with power imbalance, temptation, obsession, and a love that defies fate itself.
