When you're a mother goddess, like Dea Aveta, empty nest is more than just a syndrome. But this goddess has decided to move beyond her nature to nurture and help mortal women with high risk pregnancies, as Dr. Aveta Blessing, OB/GYN. She's been successful at controlling her nature's need to reproduce until a sexy plastic surgeon moves into the office next door. Aveta finds she's unable to ignore Lucien's devastating good looks or resist the siren's call of his desire to have a child. She also can't shake the feeling that the handsome doctor seems to be hiding something. As a goddess, mortals usually cannot resist her. Yet despite Aveta's overtures, Lucien makes it clear he's not willing to take her to his bed as just another lover. He wants all of her and will not settle for anything less. Lucien's leasing the office next door to Aveta's is no coincidence. Over three hundred years ago the goddess was his first love; the love Lucien never got over. But an ancient hatred between the gods and the warlocks means Aveta will probably scatter his atoms across the universe if she discovers what he is. And only warlocks know the reason for the gods' hatred is a lie. Lucien Richards will risk everything for the chance to know a perfect passion with Aveta once more.
