About the book
From what I have found it is about a woman who is kidnapped by a Greek god. Where she is tempted numerous times by him but decides to refrain from temptation. Her brothers who she was traveling with meet another being who tells them how to help their sister, but the question is will they be able to save her before she gives in.
