About the Book

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!
