Sav R. Miller

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a dark and twisted romance inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth. Doctor Kal Anderson assumes his heart worked at some point in his life. But at thirty-two years old, the organ in his chest seems to play a mechanical role at best. His cold, emotionless existence gives him an edge as a fixer and in-house physician for the Mafia, while his judgment is impartial and complication-free. Until Elena Ricci, his boss’s twenty-year-old daughter. After admiring the heartless doctor from afar most of her life, Elena catches him in a moment of weakness, and the pair shares a night of passion as they attempt to work each other from their systems. Only, the night seems to have the opposite effect. Elena is no longer a simple temptation to Kal, but a necessity. An obsession. One he won’t let anyone stand in his way of—even if that means crashing her wedding to another man, forcing her hand in marriage, and stealing her away to the corrupt island he resides on. Alone with the man of her nightmares for the first time ever, Elena starts to chip away at the layers of ice surrounding his hardened heart. But the warmth and depravity from her new husband may not be worth the secrets unveiled, or the lives that will forever be altered. Promises and Pomegranates is a standalone dark romance inspired by Hades and Persephone. Though it is not necessary, it is highly recommended to read their short prequel, Sweet Sin, before diving in.

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a marriage of convenience romance inspired by the Eros and Psyche myth. Cash Primrose takes his namesake seriously. As a successful environmental lawyer, work is his focus, and he has no room on his plate for anything else. That is, until an ex-ballerina gets herself into a bind at an underground auction, and he becomes so enamored with her that he ends up placing a bid. A quarter of a billion dollars later, and suddenly Cash is married to more than just his career. Not to mention, his new wife is a complete nightmare. As the middle daughter of a once-prominent crime family, and her mother’s former punching bag, Ariana Ricci is no stranger to grappling for control. She relies on seduction and violence to get what she wants, and thinks her new husband will be just as easy to manipulate as the men she’s used to dealing with. Only, Cash is different. He won’t touch Ariana, doesn’t retaliate when she lashes out in anger, and, in spite of their temporary status, sticks up for her when he could just let her get into trouble. He isn’t exactly kind, but perhaps the stoic, secretive lawyer is precisely what she needs to start healing once and for all. Souls and Sorrows is a dark romance inspired by the myth of Eros and Psyche. It contains material not suitable for all audiences. Reader discretion is advised.

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a steamy Promises and Pomegranates prequel about the night of forbidden passion leading up to Kal and Elena's wedding. Kal Anderson is a stone-cold fixer, both in the literal and figurative sense. Nicknamed Doctor Death, he prefers to keep his messes confined to his workspace and out of his personal life. Still, when it comes to the notorious Ricci crime family, he can’t seem to catch a break. He’s not supposed to notice his boss’s daughter, or engage in any way with her, considering the sordid history he has with both of her parents. Elena Ricci won’t let him go without a fight, though. Not with the date of her arranged wedding on the horizon. Knowing she and Kal can’t be together, Elena wants just one night to explore their mutual attraction. A night of freedom before she becomes someone else’s forever. On the eve of her twentieth birthday, any resolve Kal held seems to snap, and he finds himself doing the very thing he swore he wouldn’t… giving in. For one night only, he’ll indulge in the sweetest of sins and discover that a single taste of the forbidden fruit will never be enough.

It is not a standalone, and is a dark romance that contains mature language, themes, and content that may not be suitable for all readers. Reader discretion is advised.

The pomegranate doesn't fall far from the tree...

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a dark and suspenseful romance inspired by the myths of Echo and Pan. Kissing a masked stranger wasn’t on Violet Artinos’s list of things she thought would happen at her cousin’s political fundraiser. In fact, her plan was simply to show support, win back the ex-boyfriend rumored to be in attendance, and go on with her off-grid life. She never would’ve made a move on the stranger if she’d known he wasn’t who she thought, but her ex’s younger brother had other plans. Out in public for the first time in weeks, Professor Grayson James has his sights set on revenge. When he spots Violet, he immediately ropes her into his plot by kissing and blackmailing her to live at his haunted estate. He claims it’ll drive his brother mad, but the truth turns out to be more complicated than they ever imagined. Suddenly, Violet’s life of secrets is unraveling at the hands of a dark, depraved man who seems to have no intentions of letting her go. But his obsession might be exactly what puts her in danger. Liars and Liaisons is the sixth and final interconnected standalone in the Monsters & Muses series. It is a dark romance inspired by the Pan and Echo myths and contains material that may not be suitable for all audiences. Reader discretion is advised.

Mayor Alistair Wolfe had one job: hire a new assistant. Preferably, someone who would look good in the position and not cause any scandals. At least, that’s what the criminals funding his career want. He definitely wasn’t supposed to blackmail his one-night stand into working for him. Especially considering that she’s a blue-haired, tattooed thief with an attitude. Cora Astor wasn’t looking for a relationship. She wasn’t even really looking for a job, but having an in with the mayor of the island where her brother went missing seemed like a good idea. She didn’t expect her new boss to be the hot, British stranger she hooked up with the night before her interview, or for him to be so brazen with his desires. Now, despite her disdain for the dirty politician, she’s entwined their lives so tight that escaping seems unlikely. Not that he’d let her go without a good chase.
