Books like Bonds of Hercules

Chained to a legend, and the legend is not kind. Bonds of Hercules mixes captive romance with revenge and a monstrous love interest. The chains are cold. The heat is explicit. Myth gives it scale, but the cruelty is personal. She is bound, and the man holding the chain has his own reasons. If that pull is yours, read on carefully. Warnings apply.
