How long can a monster stay hidden in plain sight?
Seventeen year-old Hope Nicholas has spent her entire life on the run. But no one is chasing her. In fact, no one even knows she exists. With her mom, she’s traveled from town to town and school to school, barely staying long enough to meet anyone, let alone make friends. And she’ll have to keep it that way. It’s safer.
When her mother is brutally ripped away from her, Hope’s life shatters. Is this the fulfillment of Apollo’s curse, murder from the shadow monsters of the Underworld, or have the demigods finally found her? Orphaned and alone, Hope flees again, but this time there’s no one to teach her who to trust—or how to love.
Set in a universe where mythology is alive and well in the modern world, Curse of the Sphinx irresistibly blends action, suspense and romance.

A warm breeze tickled the air, bringing
with it the smell of honeysuckle and sunshine. A flash of light momentarily
blinded him, and when Athan’s vision cleared Apollo stood in the doorway of the
kitchen. The blond god of light, prophecy, and medicine arrived barefoot. His
skin was sun kissed, and he wore a pale linen skirt trimmed in gold that fell
to his knees. A bronze sash hung from his left shoulder to his right hip.
Apollo was muscular, and his face was both beautiful and terrifying.
“Foolish girl.” His harsh words seemed
at odds with his melodic voice.
The woman turned, and the phone slipped
from her fingers.
“It is fulfilled.” He stepped toward
her, his lips flattened in accusation. “You did not even give me a chance. One
rash decision, and your fate was sealed. There is nothing, absolutely nothing,
I can do. Do you understand?” His nostrils flared. “I would have made you
happy.”
With a moan, she sank to the floor and
buried her face in her hands.
