Will appears to have it all: a successful company, money, three homes, a beautiful wife and two kids with another on the way. But his comfortable life comes crashing down around him as his marriage collapses under the emotional weight of a neonatal death. Kicked out of the family home and left to his own devices in London, he slips into the salacious lifestyle of the wealthy Chelsea singleton looking for something more than simple companionship. Things get complicated when he meets Nazli, who is more than his equal in every way. At the same time, his wife is meting out her revenge in a bitter settlement and his company is struggling with new commercial challenges brought on by his impending divorce. Is this Will's 'Road to Damascus' moment, or will he simply submit to his own hedonistic tendencies? After all, what else does he have to lose? Love, loss, lust and betrayal - a toxic blend of emotions he will have to manage in this strange new world of half-truths and duplicity, where friendships are illusory and trust is such a precious commodity.

Emily and her winged horse face a war of Olympic proportions in this second book of the Pegasus series. Emily, newly recognized as the Flame, is living in Jupiter’s palace on Mt. Olympus. Her friends, Joel, Paelen, and—of course—Pegasus, are there as well. The only person missing is Emily’s father, who is still being held prisoner by the CRU back in the human world. Emily wants to go find him, but Jupiter won’t allow her to leave. However, Emily does have access to a winged horse… Determined to rescue her father, Emily and her friends make plans to sneak away from Olympus and back to New York. Then Cupid, Emily’s sort-of crush, decides to come along as well. It will be hard enough to hide a winged horse from the prying eyes of the CRU, but a winged boy as well? And when the gruesome Nirads begin a new invasion, old grudges are unearthed, new enemies are discovered, and Emily and her friends become entangled in a conflict more dangerous than they ever anticipated.

Book Description
An adaptation of the Ancient Greek story about Bellerophon and Pegasus brought to life with a modern twist centered around the only human ever to ride the mythical Pegasus- a young heroine named Bellerophon. When an evil sorcerer brings a venomous multi-headed beast called the Chimera to life, it could destroy an entire kingdom. Together with the help of Pegasus, Bellerophon rides out to save the day in a fairytale that includes portions of other Greek Myths of Athena, Medusa and Zeus. This incredible tale has been passed down for centuries, and now in renewed form can be cherished by all ages, but especially by readers that also love horses.
