But Castor Dioskouri shows her a different side--compassionate, dedicated, protective and loyal. And that Castor is nearly impossible to resist. Attending a werewolf mating ceremony together--where the pheromones fly, and so do clothes, inhibitions, and common sense--might be one temptation too many.
HER DEMIGOD COMPLEX
When Legendary Consultants
placed Lyleia Naiad in her job as Executive Assistant to a high-powered
billionaire, she was given one directive–do NOT fall in love with him. Given that
he’s a demigod, a successful businessman, and handsome as sin, makes that a
tall order for anyone. But as an ex-nymph, she has the unique ability to resist
his god-like charms.
Or does she? More than a year later, Castor Dioskouri has
managed to capture her heart, a feat no man, demigod, or god has ever managed.
Given the reason she was hired, she’s kept her feelings to herself. Besides,
Cas is still in love with his deceased wife from over a millennium ago, and
Leia is a failed nymph who couldn’t protect her own spring.
But now, they must attend a werewolf mating ceremony
together. An event where the pheromones fly, and so do clothes, inhibitions,
and common sense.
Can Leia resist her heart and her boss? Or will she lose her pride, her job, and her mind trying?
EXCERPT
“What’s the purpose of the trip?”
“We’re negotiating a new contract,
and the full board of the company we’re dealing with will be present and
together that weekend.”
She nodded.
Castor leaned back in his chair.
“We’ll be attending a wedding, so I assume they have a block of rooms reserved.
You’ll want to check that.”
She lifted her head. “Wedding?”
That was a new one. They’d traveled to social situations before, mixing
business with pleasure. But never a wedding.
Castor grimaced. “Pamela was
supposed to go with me.”
Leia’s fingers paused on the
keyboard. “Was she planning to take notes or work for you?”
He tipped his head. “No.”
“I see.”
A twinkle entered his eyes.
“Problem?”
Secretly, she got a kick out of his
devilish sense of humor, though not as much when directed her way. Or when she
was annoyed with him in return.
She straightened her posture. “What
is my role on this trip?”
“My Executive Assistant. What
else?”
Now a smile tugged at his lips. She
forced herself to look him directly in the eye. “Not as a date?”
“You’ll go with me to the wedding,
which could be construed as my date.”
“But I’m only there as your
assistant.”
He crossed his arms, his muscles
straining the fine material of his navy suit. “Yes.”
“And that’s how you’ll introduce
me?” While she was suspicious of the situation he was outlining, a frustrating
ray of hope that he might actually want her there as his date niggled at the
back of her mind.
“Of course. Why?”
She didn’t like that twinkle,
which, if anything, grew brighter. “What
aren’t you telling me?”
“I’m wounded that you don’t trust
me, Ms. Naiad.”
Wisely, she kept her mouth shut.
Like every other god and demigod she’d met, Castor would do whatever it took to
get his way.
The twinkle changed to a scowl as
he stood and came around the desk. “The wedding will be under the Banes/Canis
names.”
So he was not going to perjure
himself by lying to her. She ducked her head to hide her twitching lips. Even
when she was irritated with him, she found him charming. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Not charming. Annoying. Not that those mental
instructions made any damn difference.
The names he’d shared sunk in and her
head snapped up. “No.” The word punched out of her.
“What?”
“I’m not going.”
Did the sky outside darken? As a
son of Zeus, Castor’s emotions were sometimes reflected in the weather, but a
quick check revealed blue skies outside and his next words were softly put.
“Why not?”
“I don’t go to
werewolf mating ceremonies.” Not after the last one. And especially not with
Castor Dioskouri.
