About this listen
I, Ana Hearthtender, nobody orphan of Mt. Olympus, survived the first round of Trials to become Champion of Hades House.
In fact, there are only two competitors left - me and the infuriating Haven Knightfall.
He’s my nemesis, my tormentor, and my sometimes partner. Except for the part where he betrayed me and took all the credit for himself. I can’t figure him out. It’s all the more confusing because my body remembers all too well the feel of his touch, the caress of his lips, the -
Nope. Not thinking about any of that.
Which would be easier if our next Trial didn’t require us to go on a long journey, just the two of us, working together on a mission to find the Fates. At least we’ll finally get some answers about what’s really going on.
If Haven and I manage not to kill each other on the way there, that is.
But when it turns out there’s so much more at stake than I ever dreamed, both Haven and I will face a choice that will change everything.
Vicious Champion is audiobook number two in the Games of the Gods trilogy, a brand new enemies-to-lovers series packed with hate kissing, sizzling tension, and heart-pounding action. Perfect for fans of Meg Xuemei X, Eliza Raine, Jaymin Eve, and K.F. Breene.

When my impossibly sexy boss, Mr Nox, steps in and offers to help I’m initially relieved. But his help comes with a caveat. He wants something in return. Oh, and here’s the kicker. He claims he’s Lucifer. The devil. A God of Sin. Things don’t go my way, and I’m forced to accept a deal with the devil. I know what he wants. I can see the burning desire dancing in his piercing blue eyes. He wants me. And the longer I spend in his company, the more I begin to crave his touch, his kiss, his fierce passion

He offered her more than a throne. More than the Underworld. He offered her a love that would withstand the test of time. Maiden, Daughter, Goddess of Spring. She has many names, and none of them fit. Kore lives her life in a gilded cage, loved by all but understood by none. When Hades appears out of the darkness with promises of midnight and glory on his tongue, he offers her a kingdom. Lays eternity at her feet. Bids her eat and drink from the land of the dead. The ichor tastes bitter, but she's never felt such a thrilling sting.

It used to be that the president was the most powerful person in the country. That all changed when Wrath came to our world. He’s more powerful than anything we’ve ever faced. Now there are websites dedicated to worshipping him. Countless internet memes about how ridiculously gorgeous he is. And yeah, I can admit he’s fine as hell. But he’s a villain to end all villains. There’s no way I’m falling prey to that.

From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn't exist in real life - silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her. She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron's duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn't strong enough to resist....
