When your mother tells you the God of Death is one bad man, you listen. Which is just what Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, did--at least for a few hundred years--until she discovered that maybe it wasn't exactly true. Cursed to live the life of an exile by his power-hungry siblings, Hades finds little joy in his miserable, doomed existence, until he finds himself being hunted by the very woman who would satisfy his thirst for revenge.

Welcome to our Perfect Pairing series from Good in Bed, in which we couple a steamy short story with a toe-curling "pleasure-guide" that will inspire you to turn fiction into reality. At Good in Bed, we believe the brain is the biggest sex organ, and there's nothing like a good erotic story to get the heart pounding and the blood flowing. With this hot, sexy tale based on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades, your sex homework will include role-playing, sexual taboos, hot kisses, and more. How's that for an adult education?
But before you turn to the pleasure guide at the back of the book, you will first travel back to the mythic past and witness the meeting of an immortal couple. In this re-imagining of the classic story, Persephone and Hades are struck by an instant and all-consuming desire that leads them to risk the wrath of Mt. Olympus for one maddening, lust-filled moment. They will find that power isn't always where it seems, and even Death itself is on the table when the Goddess of Spring becomes queen of Hades's heart.
Cate Bellow's love of literature started on one coast and followed her across a few states in between until she settled with her family on the opposite side. She has been teaching English for nearly twenty years, because she never tires of reading great books and her students' creative writing. And when her nose isn't in a book or her hands typing away, you can find Cate traveling, gardening, running and, less often than she should, vacuuming up after her many adopted animals.
