She’s just the Goddess of Love and Beauty. And that’s exactly what she wants them to think. Naked and salt-soaked, Aphrodite is born from the waves. Knowing nothing of who or what she is, she quickly discovers that she has incredible power and the kind of beauty that makes men mad. Her blood pulses with the same home, home, home. Cue Olympus, the home of the gods. But Olympus turns out to be a seething snake-pit, and love is never simple. Ordained the mere Goddess of Love and Beauty, the threatened and spiteful gods and goddesses seek different ways to control Aphrodite. As a trap closes in around her, she learns that it is a curse to be seen as nothing but beautiful – but it may also be her strongest weapon. The gods of Olympus will soon learn not to underestimate the Goddess of Love and Beauty.
