[2013 Watty Finalist]
Thea Gibson lives a normal life.
She waitresses at her local bar, pays her bills on time, has a secret crush on Detective Josh Cooper and let's her friend Shae drag her to parties when she'd rather be curled up at home buried in the latest paranormal fantasy.
In one night though, her life becomes a paranormal fantasy when she is attacked by Titans and saved by a man claiming to be Hermes, Messenger of the Gods. Hermes tells her she is a reincarnated deity, with latent powers she must remember so she can return the recently escaped Cronos back to Tartarus.
Thea refuses to believe such nonsense but with the strange things happening around her, Thea begins to discover that fantasy is more closer to reality than she once thought...

My Redemption
Hermes was never supposed to fall in love-especially not with the son of Hades. But something about Nico di Angelo, all shadows and silence and hard-earned respect, lodged itself inside him and refused to let go. This is a story of obsession dressed as affection, of a god circling the one soul he cannot bear to lose. Of thrones abandoned and thrones taken. Of gods remade not by worship, but by want. And Hermes? Hermes has never wanted anything more.Complete

Then she smiled a seraphic smile leaving me blind and breathless. My heart felt like it would burst out of my chest and my mind became clogged. Who was this woman? Who was this goddess?Complete
