Promises and Pomegranates – 9781464234149

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a twisted dark romance inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth. ***She’s the sweetest sin he’s ever committed… Doctor Kal Anderson assumes his heart worked at some point. But at thirty-two years old, the organ in his chest seems to play a mechanical role at best. His cold, emotionless existence gives him an edge as a fixer and in-house physician for the Mafia, while his judgement is impartial and complication-free. Until Elena Ricci, his boss’s twenty-year-old daughter. After admiring the heartless doctor from afar most of her life, Elena catches him in a moment of weakness, and the pair share a night of passion as they attempt to work each other from their systems. Only, the night seems to have the opposite effect. Elena is no longer a simple temptation to Kal, but a necessity. An obsession. One he won’t let anyone stand in his way of?even if that means crashing her wedding to another man, forcing her hand in marriage, and stealing her away to the corrupt island he resides on. Alone with the man of her nightmares, Elena starts to chip away at the layers of ice surrounding his hardened heart. But the warmth and depravity from her new husband may not be worth the secrets unveiled, or the lives that will forever be altered. The first title in Sav R. Miller’s Monsters & Muses series sets a provocative tone—one not to be missed by fans of Greek mythology-inspired, spicy romance tales.
