Brides of Gods and Heroes #2 / 2
by Katherine West
Kidnapping Cassandra: a sci-fi/mythology romance (Brides of Gods and Heroes #2) by Katherine West
Unrated
It was a marriage of convenience, intended to keep her safe. Now it must become real.

Cassandra didn’t realise when she took off her wedding ring that Ajax would appear and drag her right back into the city of her nightmares. He injects her with the Concubine’s Curse, a drug that awakens cravings in her stronger than any she has ever known.

Achilles rescues her and claims her as his bride again. Although their marriage had previously been in name only, he is the only one Cassandra can trust to help her through this. The only cure is the Eidolon, a crystal that contains the light of the ancients, hidden in the lost temple of Lyrnessus.

But Troy holds more secrets than either of them know, and shadows from the past are reaching out to destroy them all. Cassandra’s visions, suppressed by Achilles when she was a teenager, are coming back, but they’re confusing, and she’s afraid to believe what they’re telling her. Years ago, her best friend disappeared. Now Cassandra is having visions of the day Iphigenia went missing… and it looks like Achilles is responsible for her murder.

Torn between understanding her own visions and trusting the man she loves, Cassandra must make a perilous choice. Can she trust Achilles? Can she trust herself? Or will the Shadows drag them all down into the darkness?

Kidnapping Cassandra is the second book in the Brides of Gods and Heroes series, which takes place in the House of the Gods universe. Sizzling passion, ancient mysteries and pulse-pounding adventure combine in this thrilling series of sci-fi/mythology romances!

Also known as Capturing Nemesis Book 2.

Katherine West

Katherine West is shy. Like, really shy. Unless she gets started talking about one of her obsessions, like romance, history, music, art or lacemaking. Then it takes an act of God to shut her up.

She lives in Sydney, in a house where she can see the sunset and is a crazy cat lady with a starter pack of one.

She’s been writing books since she was a little girl. Her Year 6 teacher teased her publicly because she wrote long stories. Now who’s laughing, Mrs Reynolds?

Katherine is very new at all of this, so let her know if you like her books! She writes steamy science fiction romance (well, “science” fiction that is awfully close to fantasy, but with better healthcare and hygiene) about gods and heroes, and women who are more powerful than they know.

You can join her Lovers of Gods and Heroes newsletter to receive snippets from upcoming books, extended epilogues and deleted scenes. The TBR Club is for newsletter subscribers only, so check it out! You can also follow her on Facebook to see her cat and her half-assed attempts at humour.
