Hera
It’s all work and no play until the denizens of the underworld have had enough of the rain.
Goddess Hera Aarden lives in the underworld, enjoying her new life as the co-owner of the ButterNut Bakery. With her small side business of hand brewed potions, creams, and tinctures literally flying off the shelves, business is booming, which means Hera is too busy for much of a social life. But she’s lonely and the one-night stands she used to go for just aren’t scratching that annoying itch anymore.
The denizens of the underworld are fed up with the rainy season, so it’s time to shake things up, and the Goddess of Love and her toothy sidekick have just the thing to put the pep back in Hera’s step.
There should be nothing but clear skies and sunshine ahead now!
Augustine McKellen and his two brothers have been dreaming of their fated mates, yet none are brave enough to do anything about it until August gives in and ventures out, eventually stumbling across the new speed dating at the DeLux Cafe. Even if the term "speed dating" implies something fast and furious, which isn't really what he's after, August has to get his old school dragon booty out there or he will never find his mate.
Once he’s met the perfect woman for him, will she be able to accept his beastly side, scales and all?
Hera is book twenty in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld shared world series, filled with bold and beautiful goddesses, dashing gentleman dragon shifters, and more

Heroes: Mortals and Monsters, Quests and Adventures
Mortals and Monsters. Quests and Adventures . . .
__________
There are Heroes - and then there are Greek Heroes.
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales. Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Filled with white-knuckle chases and battles, impossible puzzles and riddles, acts of base cowardice and real bravery, not to mention murders and selfless sacrifices, Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.
