All is fair in love and war.
The Goddess of Love is stuck in a loveless marriage. Forced to marry Hephaestus in her first year as an Olympian, Aphrodite has felt abandoned since the nuptials were exchanged. The last time she felt alive was one night in Cyprus with a complete stranger two years ago.
The God of War has seen many things in his years of combat. He's been tested even more. But nothing could have prepared Ares for the way a mystery woman in Cyprus could bewitch his mind for two years.
Ares's plans of spending all of his time aiding humans in the mortal realm is derailed when Zeus and Hera order him to stay in Olympus. The political landscape has shifted greatly in Ares's absence. But what intrigues him the most is his brother's mystery bride.
Forced to meet for the first time since Cyprus, Ares and Aphrodite must harbor their secret love affair. Only this time Ares can't seem to stay away. Not now that Aphrodite is so close.
Determined to stay true to her marriage, Aphrodite must fight all of her deepest desires. A painful betrayal from Hephaestus only drives the wedge between them deeper.
The Goddess of Love should know there's no denying desire. An explosion of passion threatens the fragile landscape of Olympus. The God of War must act quick. Otherwise, they risk a fall from grace.
