“Sav R. Miller, a USA Today bestselling author, presents a gritty and intricate love story infused with elements of the Hades and Persephone myth.
At thirty-two, Doctor Kal Anderson’s heart feels more mechanical than beating, his life a cold and emotionless routine. Serving as a fixer and in-house physician for the Mafia, his impartiality and lack of complications make him invaluable. However, everything changes when Elena Ricci, his boss’s twenty-year-old daughter, enters the picture.
Having admired the seemingly heartless doctor from afar, Elena seizes a moment of vulnerability and shares a night of passion with him, hoping to erase their attraction. Instead, it deepens into an obsession, especially for Kal, who sees Elena as a necessity rather than a mere temptation.
Determined to make her his own, Kal disrupts Elena’s impending wedding, coercing her into marriage and whisking her away to his corrupt island domain. As Elena confronts the darkness within her new husband, she begins to thaw the layers of his hardened heart. But the revelations and sacrifices that follow may not justify the warmth she finds, nor the lives irreversibly changed.
“Promises and Pomegranates” stands as a standalone dark romance, drawing inspiration from the Hades and Persephone myth. While not essential, readers are encouraged to explore the prequel, “Sweet Sin,” for deeper context. For a comprehensive content warning, readers are directed to the author’s website.”
