Summary
Agatha couldn’t move. It was her, she was sure of it—the dancer from the club, on the night of the last day of school. A stripper was standing in her classroom, addressing her second-graders. A stripper who, until this very moment, had been filed neatly into the category of things Agatha would never think about again. (Except that one time, when she got too drunk on the Fourth of July. And that other time, when she got too drunk on the Seventh of July, which was just a normal Tuesday.) And yet here she was, in practical jeans and a black tee, looking every inch like a competent professional.

Summary
Agatha was thrice blessed: by Demeter, by prophecy, by birth into power.
Thrice cursed: caged, controlled, claimed by a mother who saw only her value.
Then Rio came: an alpha who should have been beneath her notice, who smelled like earth and honey.
When their hands first touched, the vision tore through her. Sunlight through olive leaves. Bodies tangled in sheets. A tongue that split and tasted acrid. Dark eyes hollowed out into nothingness.
She saw what loving Rio would cost.
For one night, Agatha chose freedom.
The gods made her pay for it.

Summary
“Holy. Shit.”
Rio turns, brows raised. “What?”
Alice doesn’t answer, eyes locked on something past the crowd.
“Seriously, what is it?” Rio asks again.
Then Alice grabs her arm hard enough to nearly knock the drink out of her hand and points.
Rio follows with her eyes. And there, maybe twenty feet away, walking through a break in the crowd like some terrifying fashion shark is Agatha freaking Harkness.
“Didn’t you say your boss was straight? Then why does someone who looks exactly like her just happen to be at Pride...with what looks a whole lot like a hot, gorgeous, probably very gay date?”
OR
Rio lies and calls in sick so she can go to Pride on a workday.
