Ryan Reilly, celebrity dog trainer, absolutely did not expect to be magically kidnapped to the underworld today. But that underworld god needs his help.

Aidon, the brand-new Hades, has never had a dog, much less a giant hellhound puppy. And Ryan's supposed to be the best. And the whole kidnapping-to-the-underworld is only temporary. Really.

But an underworld visit and a mischievous hellhound puppy just might be the perfect fluffy meet-cute, and a chance at a mythical happily ever after.
