An archaeologist's discovery has landed her in a hotbed of danger.  An unlikely companion may be her only hope...

 Romance is just a myth for Dr. Helena Thessaylia:  brilliant, beautiful, but hopelessly shy professor of archeology...until a chance meeting with a tough, streetwise attorney just cocky enough to believe he has a chance.  And just smitten enough to show up-uninvited-on her sabbatical in Greece. 

And that's just the first of Helena's surprises.
 
Accompanied by her newfound companion, she discovers an astonishing artifact that will put her on the pages of her own textbooks...and potentially in a hotbed of danger.  It turns out her discovery has unearthed a very dark secret...a secret one powerful man would do anything to hide. 
It's a good thing she has an intense, hard-hitting lawyer on her side.  Helena soon realizes he'll stop at nothing to protect her.  But he has some baggage of his own:  A rough childhood in a bad part of the Bronx and a less-than squeaky-clean past.

Even if the pair escape the land of Odysseus with their lives, higher hurdles lie before them:  Will Helena's handsome esquire conquer her impenetrable shyness?  And will Helena's faith and love inspire him to seek out a different life?All Rights Reserved

Archaeology is a passion of hers, so when a visiting group offers the once-in-a-lifetime chance to spend a week at a real dig site, off the coast of Greece, Priscilla seizes the opportunity to pursue what she enjoys. Then... Disaster strikes. Priscilla wanted to believe that this was her Fate, but there seems to be other forces conspiring against her. The company organizing the dig is rumored to be engaged in some shady activity, her best friend since grade school reveals that he's slowly dying of a terminal disease, and most dramatic of all, her parents vanish overnight, leaving behind a letter telling her the truth: They are gods, hiding in the guise of mortals so that a very powerful enemy--a demon they've been fighting for millennia--won't discover the hiding place of their divine power: The very island Priscilla will be visiting soon. Is the archaeological group in league with the demon, or intent on discovering the hiding place first in order to stop him? Can she and her classmates find the hidden temple themselves? Will the demon come after her next?
