Release Blitz, Exclusive Excerpt & Giveaway:
Wildfire by Sam Burns & W.M. Fawkes
Sons of Olympus, Book 1
Wilder Pratt has given up trying to get his life together. Passed up for a promotion, left by his long-term boyfriend, nothing in his life seems to work how he planned. Wilder is just treading water . . . right up until the moment he trips over a dead student outside his office with a golden would-be murderer standing over the body.
Hermes has been running his whole life—from duty and danger, from a father who mistrusts him and siblings who outshine him. But when the students at Banneker College of magic start dropping dead one after another, Hermes’s ass is on the line. He finds himself playing bodyguard to a man who suspects him of murder, but that doesn’t seem enough to keep Professor Pratt’s hot hands off him.
An ancient evil has risen from the depths of Tartarus, and he’s coming for Banneker. The only thing standing in the way of a titanic apocalypse is one disappointing part-time professor and a god who’d rather abandon the world to its fate. But if they work together, they may just save everyone.

He blinked at . . . at Hermes. “Are your parents sadists?”
Hermes cocked his head to one side, then the other, and finally shrugged. “Sure, that tracks. You know ’em?”
“What? No, I just—who names their kids Dionysus and Hermes? Do you have a brother named Hercules?” He was gesticulating wildly, a bad habit he’d mostly broken himself of over the years, but this man seemed to bring out the worst in him.
Wilder wished he could catch Hermes’s answering expression on film. Nose scrunched and lips pursed, brows drawn together tight—it was like he’d bitten into a piece of cheese and realized it was three-week-old fish. “Do not talk to me about that asshole.”
Was he for real?
“Your family is insane.”
At that, he scoffed and rolled his eyes. “Tell me about it. Or better yet, don’t. I didn’t trick you in here so we could talk about my nutty relatives.”
That brought Wilder up short. Trick him?
Maybe the man had murdered Matthew, and now he wanted to kill Wilder too, to get him out of the way. To keep him from telling the authorities that the man from the scene of the crime had been named Hermes, and his brother owned Hysteria.
The lascivious smile that crossed Hermes’s lips, however, implied otherwise. The way he licked his lips and his eyes strayed to Wilder’s own mouth. “What do you say, hot stuff?”
Wilder quirked a deeply unimpressed brow at him. “Never heard that one before.”
“Not trying to be original,” Hermes said easily, with a shrug. “Just trying to get some dick. You seem like you’ve got one.”
So, Wilder had been picked up in clubs before. He’d been picked up in this club before, in fact. He had never met anyone so thoroughly artless at it, though. No lines, no flattery, just an offer.
