For fans of the Oracle of Delphi series... and for those who aren't...
Born into one of the wealthiest families in Ireland, Siobhan Law has status, privilege, and a secret: The Greek gods of Olympus and their kingdom in the clouds are real, and her family acts as one of their agents on Earth.
When the beautiful immortal celeste Liam Argyros shows up claiming to have come to Earth to deal in the affairs of the divine, Siobhan finds herself unable to resist his charms. New to the game of passion and seduction, she quickly ends up in over her head, sinking deeper with every attempt Liam makes to win her over.
But Liam's divine mission is far more complex than she ever imagined and nothing is truly as it seems. Because Liam has a secret of his own: He is Apollo, Olympian god of the Sun, and his mission will never be complete until he has claimed Siobhan's heart forever.

“Play something for me, Siobhan,”
he requested between chapters.
I smiled and marked my place in
the book. “Only if you play somethin’ for me as well.”
He nodded once, watching me
closely. I slid off my bed and went to collect my violin from my practice room,
which I accessed through the doors that connected all of my rooms together.
After a bit of tuning, I returned to my bedroom. Apollo remained where he
was–shirtless and beautiful, stretched across my bed with his arms folded
behind his head. I shivered. He was the reason handsome men were sometimes
referred to as Greek gods, though I was completely certain that no mortal man
could ever look this magnificent.
Tucking my violin beneath my
chin, I started to play and was immediately drawn into my own secret realm. It
was like a new experience every time I played my violin. I became lost in the
music, swept away by the melody, and forgot the rest of the world existed. Even
in practice, I poured my entire soul into the pieces I played because, like
love, I felt that true passion could never be put on hold. Music was me,
and I was it. I couldn’t imagine my life without it.
With a final chord, I ended my
piece.
Apollo didn’t applaud me, but his
admiring smile was praise enough. “I’m looking forward to the day when that
piece is finished.”
I blushed, realizing I should
have known the god of Music would know an unfinished composition when he heard
one. I wondered did he know I had written it for him.
“Your turn,” I said, setting my
violin on the stand I kept in my bedroom.
“The
only instrument I want to play now is you. Like my lyre, plucking all the right
strings to make you sing.”
