Goddess of Legend (Demi-God Daughters) by Erin Ashley Tanner

You’re a magician, but you’re going to have to do better than that,” Cameryn said brazenly refusing to believe what she was seeing.
    “Very well,” he said in a voice that now boomed.
    Since when had his voice boomed? Cameryn screamed as he disappeared right before her eyes. When he reappeared in front of her a moment later, black clouds swirled around him. What had she gotten herself into?
    “What are you?”
    “I’m Hades, God of the Underworld.”
    “You mean as in Greek god Hades? No. That stuff is only a bunch of myths.”
    “And yet I stand before you now. You of all people should know that everything is not as it always appears, Cameryn.”
    “What are you talking about?”
    “You can talk to the dead. You find their spirits that cry out for rest.”
    “How do you know about that?”
    “I know a lot about you. I’ve been watching you since the day you were born,” he said staring at her intently.
    “What do you want?”
    “A chance.”
    “A chance for what?”
    “To woo you. Come to the Underworld with me.”
    “Huh?” Cameryn asked too dumbfounded to believe what she was hearing.
    “Come to the Underworld with me. Give me six months to show you that I can love you the way that you deserve. I want to make you immortal and have you rule at my side as my wife and queen for all eternity.”
    It took everything in Cameryn not to run out of her bedroom screaming. He wanted her to be his wife! To be his queen! She had to be hallucinating. Maybe he’d drugged her last night when she wasn’t paying attention. But wait a minute . If she remembered her Greek mythology right didn’t he already have a wife?
    “And what does your wife think about this? I’m sure she wouldn’t be pleased that you’re trolling for human women and I have no desire to be struck down by an angry goddess.”
    “I have no wife,” he said shortly.
    “Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t you kidnap some goddess and force her to be your wife or something?”
    “That part of the myth was incorrect,” Hades said with flames dancing behind his eyes.
    Uh oh. It looked like she’d made him angry. If he really was a god then she was about to be vaporized. Perhaps she’d better leave the subject of his marital status well enough alone.
    “If I agree to this, what happens at the end of six months?”
    “Your sister will be returned to life, regardless of whether or not you decide to remain with me in the Underworld. It is my sincerest wish that during our time together you will come to love me as I already love you.”
    “And if I stay with you, I’ll become immortal?”
    “Yes. You will never grow old. You will never die. You will be eternally beautiful.”
    “This is a lot to process. I don’t know what to say,” Cameryn said plopping down on her bed.
    “I don’t expect you to make a decision right now. I’m a patient man. Take as much time as you need,” he said starting to fade away.
    “Wait. How do I reach you?”
    “Just call for me, and I will come. Farewell, beloved,” he said caressing her face.
    Cameryn flinched a little at his touch. He gave her a sad smile before disappearing completely. When he was gone, she let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. A god. She’d slept with a god! Why couldn’t she just have picked up some random guy like any normal woman? Was it too much to ask for a little normalcy in her already screwed up and chaotic life? Apparently so. She’d caught the attention of a god who was older than she could even begin to fathom , and he wanted her to be his wife. She didn’t even want to contemplate what could possibly happen if she turned him down.
    He’d promised to give Deena her life back. She had no idea how that was even possible. She wanted to believe that he’d keep his word no matter what. But she was getting ahead of herself. She hadn’t even decided if she was going to accept his offer. There was so much to consider. She’d said that she would
