The Southern Thirst Trap has a new cover!
Read it now!
Zander and Harlowe's story is such a vibrant, layered, and heartfelt one that needed a more expressive cover to match, so I made it! The new cover is live on Amazon, though sometimes it takes a bit to clear out any stock of the old cover before they begin printing the new one. I will have paperback copies for sale in my store shortly as well, and like with all the products in the store, you can pre-order, and I will ship it out once I receive stock!

Harlowe Sorenson:
The name Zander Olsen is synonymous with no repeats, no attachments, and pursuing beautiful women he leaves in the dust after he’s conquered them.
I knew his rules going into our arrangement. I shouldn’t have thought I’d be any different. When we somehow discovered something amazing together during our tropical vacation that changed my life forever, I thought it changed him, too. Instead, he told me forever was a lie and thoroughly blocked me from his life the second we returned. Why is he back now? And what gives him the right to be so interested in my son after all this time? Zander is the one man who has the power to ruin my life, and I won’t let him do that to me again, even if my body wants to betray me every time he gets close.
Zander Olsen:
Harlowe Sorenson is the only woman I was willing to break my rules for, and in the end, it burned us both.
I put my career and the growth of Olympus International first in my life, so I can’t let women stick around long enough to distract me from that goal, not even one as vivacious, challenging, and captivating as her. Falling for Harlowe wasn’t in my plans, so I cut out my heart and crushed hers thoroughly to ensure she wouldn’t be a problem. I’d almost forgotten about her. So why, after crashing into her five years later, am I still drawn to her and have too many questions about her carefully guarded son? A son who looks more like me than he should. I need to get these answers without risking my business, my heart, and hers in the process, or I’ll have hell to pay once again.
The paperback full wrap cover
"I love the fake dating trope which is what initially interested me but what I got was so much more! I love how hard Payton falls for Ainsley and the way he treats her, especially in the bedroom! Like Seriously, this man had one of the filthiest mouth! He Made degradation hot. He knew exactly what to say and when to say it! I loved how his words (even though super dirty) were able to empower Ainsley and make her feel better about herself. He was perfect for her and I loved seeing him break down her walls."

"Once again I couldn't get enough of Adrian's writing. I don't know how it's possible but this book is spicier than the last. each book in the series seems to get spicier and spicier. is there a limit? I hope not! Payton and Ainsley are a perfect match. They care for each other and push each other to be better, which I feel like is one of the most important aspects in a relationship. You're going to swoon for Payton, who surprises you with so many things. I wish I could find a real life Payton for myself."
- Meghan, Goodreads reviewer
"I found Ainsley so relatable it was almost scary, down to some things in our past, our likes and dislikes, (what I wouldn't give to get coffee with her), and our love of Payton. It was also super cool to see what the other Olsen brothers and their wives had been up to, with a super satisfying ending that wrapped everything up so well. Sad to see the Southern Gods series end but happy with the way it did."
- MKReads, Amazon reviewer
"Adrian R. Hale whipped up a feast fit for the gods with “The Southern Thirst Trap.” This third installment of her Southern Gods series turns up the heat by serving a flavorful story that expertly balances drama, intense spice, and sweetness, with a twist of fate. Trust me, “The Southern Thirst Trap” is delicious."
- Bee, Goodreads review
"TSTT was yet another 5 star read from Adrian! This is an interconnected standalone in the world of the Southern Gods 🖤 Who doesn't love a modern retelling of Zeus & Hera?! 🫠
Zander & Harlowe's love story was BEAUTIFULLY written! Typically I'm not a second chance love girlie but this was one I couldn't get enough of. The struggle & the heartbreak was carefully crafted to make you feel every emotion. And the spice was 🥵🥵🥵
I love Zander's character arc but my gods, Harlowe & Hendricks are everything! Everything I wanted as a reader & everything Zander needed! I 100% recommend reading this book if you want a feel good love story that has all the feels! 🖤"
- Emilie, Amazon review
"I'm a sucker for a few things, allow me to name a couple...cars, a smoking hot alpha male, and an author that writes a feisty, tough-as-nails female lead. Therefore, I have officially fallen in love with Adrian Hale."
