A loose story based on Hades and Persephone but taking place in modern day and involving the mafia. Elena is the daughter of a mafia boss and has been innocent her entire life... all leading to being married off to an abusive husband in order to secure an alliance for her family... but behind her innocence is a darker being. Kal is a doctor and the family hitman, who has become obsessed with Elena... but has always kept a distance until now. Kal and Elena soon find themselves in a complicated situation when someone threatens Elena and Kal has plans in order to protect her, particularly making her his wife. The feelings between the two of them become complicated when the secrets in their lives start to unravel and when someone threatens to destroy them both. This was definitely an interesting take the persephone/hades myth, particularly since both characters refer to each other as persephone and hades haha. Overall it is definitely a dark romance and there are definitely a list of TW you should check out before reading this. I appreciated how the author lists them so that you have a full warning before diving into the story.
