What happens when a girl wins a mysterious trip hosted by a reclusive billionaire, from a raffle she never actually entered?
On a dreary Sunday evening in San Francisco, Delphi, an analyst by day and smut reader by night, receives startling news. She has won the prize of a lifetime: a week in Greece hosted by one of the world's most famous and reclusive billionaires. She's shocked-nothing like this ever happens to her. She spends her days dreaming of opening her own dance studio, and trying not to visibly wince at the chronic pain that still plagues her burned and scarred left hand.
So when she steps onto the private jet a week later to be whisked away to a private villa perched above the sparkling turquoise sea and nestled among rolling verdant hills, she's happy to leave behind the drudgery of her day-to-day life. Well, almost. The only problem is the arrogant entrepreneur himself, whose swaggering superiority complex makes Delphi want to tear her hair out.
As one of the most powerful beings in existence, Apollo would normally ignore the silly mortal girl. Back in the human realm yet again, still ruthlessly pursuing the revenge he has sought for so many centuries, he never lets himself get distracted. But when he gets close to Delphi for the first time, his skin tingles in a way it hasn't in ages. Could she be the answer to the prophecy?
From author Emily Otten comes a thrilling story of unlikely enemies to lovers who can't help but interfere in each other's quests. A romantasy unlike any other, full of spicy twists and turns that will leave your jaw on the floor. A story about fate, and how sometimes, it's dead wrong.
What an epic debut for Emily Otten...The twists?! Wild. The friendships? Goals. I absolutely loved the modern mythology, this was so unique from other books that have been released recently, and what a breath of fresh air. -Alex, Goodreads user
