The Helio's Bride

A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?

Trapped (1)

In the underworld, Hades taunted and teased Marlena, holding the mirror in his hand like a jewel. 

"Marlena, you're not getting any younger, you know." 

She crossed her arms and ignored him, sitting on a rock. 

She would have called Shadow to get her out of this mess but that was yet another demon who answered to Hades. He would simply do as the lord of the underworld instructed him, anyway. 

Seeing her resolute expression, Hades laughed in jest. "You will not achieve anything by stalling me. If I can wait for twenty years, how much longer do you think I can wait?" 

"What are you waiting for?" she asked. 

He laughed, finding her amusing. "Nice try, but you cannot coax anything out of me." 

It was worth a try, she thought.
