Erica Warren, a modern day pagan, gets twitchy when Aphrodite asks her to do something but won’t tell her what it is. Then she meets Cal Vasco, a gorgeous Dom who whispers promises of pleasure and pain guaranteed to seduce a masochist like Erica. If he’s what Aphrodite has in mind, she's happy to play along.
But Cal isn’t what he seems. The son of an ancient war god, he and his brothers pissed off Aphrodite thousands of years ago, and she’s been teaching them a lesson ever since. A night of passion between Cal and Erica ends with a curse from the Goddess: they are now madly in love whether they like it or not.
As a mercenary, Cal hates the Goddess for hanging the albatross of love around his neck. He doesn’t want to feel tenderness and need for Erica, especially when she insists on getting involved in the dangers of his profession. But Erica is determined to be more than a puppy who follows him around.
Enter Cal’s half-brother, Pete. He has reconciled himself to Aphrodite’s curse and is more than willing to help Erica, but how can he when he’s also falling in love with her?
