Sweet Obsession

The hotly anticipated eighth instalment in the Dark Olympus series is a scorchingly hot, modern retelling of Poseidon and Icarus from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert. *** “He was mine to protect. Mine to adore. Mine to lose forever.” Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen…right into the rough hands of Olympus’s own Poseidon. Being held captive by the gentle giant wouldn’t be so bad if Olympus wasn’t on the eve of destruction…or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes. Poseidon doesn't have time to babysit his increasingly bratty prisoner, but he has no choice: Olympus is officially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm's way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for his sworn enemy...and the more he realises that Icarus isn’t the villain he's been made out to be. There's a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds difficult to ignore or deny. Now, with Circe and the Aeaens at the gate and Olympus a hair's breadth away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a difficult choice: about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber – only to threaten to break it for good... Katee Robert breathes new life into the Icarus and Poseidon myth with an irresistible enemies to lovers romance that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey.

Rory I'm beginning to unravel. When I meet Shai Burrows, he intrigues me enough that he has me stalking him, following him, watching him. And when I find out he's the one who robbed me, instead of handling business, it only makes me obsess over him even more. But I can't just let him get away with that, so we cut a deal. Shai will work off what he owes me, with his body, something he's as eager about as I am. Because after that first touch, our worlds collide. We get off on danger and seek trouble we're not supposed to find. He craves my body, and though I don't understand it, I know I want him by my side. He's my obsession, and I can't help but want more. In fact, I want it all. And I'll take it. Our world is violent and chaotic. I've always reveled in that, but I'm risking it all now. I need to learn control because if I lose him, no one will be able to pull me back from the edge. Content Warning: Sweet Obsession contains violence, drug use, discussion/memory of losing a parent to suicide (flashback), past scenes of child neglect, addiction (not a main character), discussion of human trafficking, and morally gray characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance though, so none of this is heavy handed and you can expect a happily ever after for our guys. Please see the next page for a more detailed content warning.

A swoony dark rom-com with a morally grey lead who wants to learn everything he can about the woman he's obsessed with, but stalking her isn't as easy as he anticipated. Summer keeps her dark fantasies close to her chest-and between the pages of her favorite books. With a globetrotter mother and a traveling artist best friend, Summer seeks her adventures as a professional fake girlfriend, spending her days pretending to be anyone other than herself for a thrill and a lucrative paycheck. Of course, being a professional fake girlfriend makes dating a bit . . . challenging. Especially when her new client is the same man who accidentally broke into her apartment-the same man she hasn't been able to stop thinking about since. But if Noah knew the real Summer, if he knew her fantasies of being the object of a man's obsession and unshakable devotion, she's not sure he'd want any relationship with her-fake or not. Noah didn't mean to break into Summer's home. In his drunken state, he mistook her apartment for his friend's, but now that he's met gorgeous, fiery Summer, he's found the perfect candidate to convince his overbearing family that he's over his recent breakup: a professional fake girlfriend. Except the more Noah gets to know Summer, the more his obsession grows. He wants to know everything about her, and based on the books on her shelf and her own drunken confession, she's not against a little light stalking. Unfortunately, from unsuccessfully hiding behind menus to mistakenly leaving his return address on gifts to getting caught peering through her window, Noah isn't exactly nailing this whole stalking thing. And his messiness has obviously attracted the attention of the wrong person because things for Noah go very, very badly. As in, find-yourself-locked-in-the-trunk-of-a-car bad. So maybe stalking isn't quite as easy as he had hoped.
