In ancient Greece, one of the twelve laboursof Heracles was to bring back a goldenapple from the Garden of Hesperides.To archaeologist Oriel Anderson, joininga team of Greek divers on the island ofHelios seems like the golden apple of herdreams.

Yet the dream becomes a nightmarewhen she meets the devilish owner ofthe island, Damian Lekkas. In shockedrecognition, she is flooded with thememory of a romantic night in a stranger’sarms, six summers ago. A very differentman stands before her now, and Orielsenses that the sardonic Greek autocratis hell-bent on playing a cat and mouse game with her.

As they cross swords and passions mount,Oriel is aware that malevolent eyes watchher from the shadows. Dark rumours arewhispered about the Lekkas family. Whatdangers lie in Helios, a bewitching landwhere ancient rituals are still enacted toappease the gods, young men risk theirlives in the treacherous depths of the IonianSea, and the volatile earth can erupt at anymoment?

Will Oriel find the hidden treasures sheseeks? Or will Damian’s tragic past catchup with them, threatening to engulfthem both?
