Aspect and Anchor
What happens when one falls in lust/love with a sexy god?
1. BOUND TO THE BATTLE GOD by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
When I went to my neighbor’s apartment to investigate strange sounds, I never expected to fall through a portal into another world. Yet here I am, a stranger in an even stranger land... and I’m stranded. In this world, might makes right, men carry swords, and gods walk the earth. Within minutes of arriving, I’m enslaved.
Fun place.
How do I get home? GREAT question. Wish I had an answer.
The one person that might be able to help me is also the one person I want to throttle most. Aron, Lord of Storms, Butcher God of Battle, is my new companion. Or rather, I’m his. As Aron’s anchor to the mortal realm, I’m the one that’s supposed to be guiding him through his exile in the mortal world.
Ha. Joke’s on him. I know nothing about this place.
But Aron and I have a common goal—get home. And we’re bonded—anchor and god—with a bond unlike any other. So we travel together. We bicker. We bathe together. We fight our many, many enemies together. And sure, he’s a god, but he’s also an arrogant jerk. Brawny, smoking hot, irresistible jerk. I should want nothing to do with him. I certainly shouldn’t want to do things to him.
Mortals and gods don’t mix. We stick to the plan and ignore our attraction. Focused, with one goal in mind. One task. One goal. Focused.
I—oh heck, I’m going to end up kissing him again, aren’t I?
2. SWORN TO THE SHADOW GOD by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
Adventure.
It’s what my boring life is missing, so when I fall through a portal into another world, I’m excited. Here, I’m important. Here, I’m special.
I find out just *how* special when I meet Death.
Yup. That guy. He’s been exiled to the mortal realm to work through his flaws, and he’s just as spoiled and awful as you’d think. Rhagos, the Shadow Lord, is arrogant and rude and controlling and demands to get his way. He’s selfish. He’s impossible.
He’s also utterly gorgeous. Magnetic. Lonely. And strangely protective of me.
Thanks to a magic bond, I now serve him as his anchor to the mortal realm. It means that I’m his conscience, his guide... and the target for any assassin or glory-seeker. After a few days of this, I’d rather go home than continue on this ‘adventure’. I need a way back to Earth, and fast.
As the world falls down around us and we’re hunted simply for existing, I find myself wondering what it'd be like to serve the lonely god of death... in all ways. To kiss him. To touch him. To bed him.
Except... I’m supposed to be finding a way home, not trying to kiss Rhagos. No matter how tempting he is. No matter how much he stares at my lips. No matter how much I want it.
3. WED TO THE WILD GOD by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
When I find a gorgeous stranger in an alley, covered in blood, you’d think the logical thing would be to go to the authorities.
Not me. I take him home.
I’ve got my reasons, though. See, Kassam is cursed with hedonism. He’s a god from another world, accidentally stuck in ours. Anyone (and everyone) around him falls under his spell. It's impossible to resist. Like scratching an itch. And being around Kassam? Boy, do I itch.
But trying to send the god home to his world is a near-impossible task. Between everyone we meet trying to kiss him and the gods of this world trying to get rid of him, I’m in over my head. There’s only one solution that will keep me safe—marry him. Being the wife of a god will protect me from immortal machinations.
Now, I just need to figure out a way to protect my heart from Kassam himself.
4. SERVANT TO THE SPIDAE by Ruby Dixon
SYNOPSIS
All my life I have served. One lord after another, I have given them my time, my body and my soul. My newest lord, however, is not one but three.
I have become the anchor to the three Aspects of Fate, the mortal chosen to teach the gods humanity. It seems an impossible task for any mortal to satisfy a god’s wishes and I must serve three?
Three lords means three times the frustration, three times the petty demands... and three times the pleasure.
