A twist on the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros (cupid).
When a god is sent to punish a young woman for angering his mother he is faced with the choice between love and duty. But a god whose duty to bring love to others is not destined to receieve love in return...
Psyche is the most beautiful woman in the world, unfortunately. When the people start worshipping her as the wordly incarnation of the Goddess Aphrodite, Psyche is put in the firing line of Aphrodite's wrath. Wanting to punish Psyche's people for their blasphemy Aphrodite tasks Eros, her son, to exact revenge. But when Eros discovers that Psyche is more than just a pretty face, and realises they have more in common than he ever imagined a god and a mortal could, he has to make a choice between betraying his mother, angering the Gods of Olympus, or finally following his own heart for the first time in his life.
Notes: Intentionally written without racial descriptions in order to allow for equality of imagination. I hope you can visualise the characters freely.

The Carnal Sins of Flesh
In the shadows between damnation and desire, he exists. A man bound by immortal chains for the ultimate transgression: an affair with the goddess Aphrodite, bride of Hephaestus the crippled. The gods' vengeance angrily bubbled to harden and forge a curse of eternity, where he will witness centuries pass while his own heart remains frozen in perpetual want. Now he yearns for a quick end: an arrow to the heart. Whether tipped with poison or blessed by Eros matters not. Death or salvation, he cannot tell which he craves more. But hope, like carnal desire, is a dangerous thing. When a beacon of light finally appears in his endless darkness, it threatens to illuminate just how deep the roots of his wretched curse reach. What will remain of his humanity in a world where wanting love is a sin and eternity stretches out in front of him like an open wound? When his biggest weakness and only remaining strength are one and the same? Some prisons are of stone and steel. Others are welded from the very essence of what we cannot help but be-and the gods who refuse to let us forget that.Terminé
The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Terminé
