Lightning & Thunder - by Sara Raasch (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

DELUXE EDITION--featuring stunning sprayed edges!

Percy Jackson meets Thunderbolts in this action-adventure romcom where the descendants of gods protect humanity, and Zeus's snarky, vigilante heir is forced to team up with the globally beloved descendant of Thor.

As a Zeus descendant, Pollux "Lux" Keraunos never intended to be a villain. But if the cyber-crime hat fits, he'll wear it to destroy the tyrant Hero Council led by his brother.

Then his brother vanishes (not Lux's fault). Zeus's line must continue, and the Hero Council turns to Lux as the heir--with the caveat that he trains under Erik Thorson, his brother's Viking-wannabe BFF. Lux'll use this to bring down the Council, and he isn't falling for Erik's smoking hot with a heart of gold persona--

Even if Erik didn't know Lux's brother was corrupt.

Even if Erik actually helps people--and believes Lux can, too.

As Lux tries the good guy role, the truth behind his brother's disappearance surfaces, and he'll have to decide if he still wants to destroy the Council . . . or if he wants someone else more.

Hero? Villain? Or a secret third option: disaster bisexual with a savior kink?
