Dragged through the streets of Rome in chains, Selene and her brothers, Helios and Ptolemy, swear that they will one day visit their vengeance upon the newly minted emperor of Rome, Augustus Caesar.
Given the same gifts as her mother, the infamous Pharaoh Cleopatra VII of Egypt, Selene learns the cost of flaunting her abilities in a man's world at a young age.
Lacking the training her mother was blessed with, Selene is forced to forge her way on her way on her own.
Thankfully, that's never stopped her before.
It certainly won't be stopping her now.

Bride of the Greek Prince
Perdita just wanted a vacation. Three weeks free of a certain annoying coworker constantly one-upping her. No impossible demands by a boss looking for any excuse to fire her. No nagging from her father and step-witch about when she is going to give them grandchildren like her perfect step-sister. Three weeks of relaxation on a Nile River cruise... But misfortune seems to follow Perdita (could it be because she was named after the tragic Shakespearean character?). Before she can settle into her vacation, Perdita falls into an exhibit on the ship, accidentally touching an ancient relic of unknown origin. Perdita finds herself being transported to ancient Egypt where she is being tried as a criminal... Lucky, or unlucky for her, Mycenaean prince Acacius takes in interest in her, calling her "Helen." He decides to bring her back to Mycenae with him to serve him as his wife. Perdita soon finds herself wrapped up in ancient politics, war, magic, and love... She wanted a vacation... not an adventure... *Some liberties have been taken with dates and historic events.
