Their names and roles change over time, but throughout the ages, they have been worshipped or feared as gods, demigods, angels, or demons for the awesome sexual powers they possess. Occasionally benevolent, sometimes evil, often mischievous, they please themselves — and their frequently reluctant partners — with all manner of physical gratifications. They are supernatural seduction artists accustomed to absolute power over the flesh, and mortals are their playthings.
A former pagan god, temporarily calling himself Fryar Grimsson until he chooses a new identity for this age, knows what to expect from his toys, having experienced all personalities over the years. But during a routine acquisition of a spirited mortal woman, he suddenly finds himself making mistake after mistake, since the extremely inhibited female doesn't respond as planned. Overjoyed with the discovery of a real treasure, for he's not been surprised in a very long time, he keeps her at his side as a curiosity, a momentary diversion until a better game comes along.
But too late he recognizes his biggest blunder. The longer he associates with this rare individual, the more he learns about her, and the more she takes hold of his heart. In time, he becomes just as much HER captive as she is his. As this very jaded and self-centered immortal sorts through feelings he's never personally experienced before, he finds himself just as much of a virgin to love's influence as his hostage.
