Of Blood and Bloom (Mythic Passions #2)

When a goddess craves something mortal, even Olympus cannot contain her.

Aphrodite, goddess of love, has tasted every pleasure—and yet she hungers still. The perfection of Olympus has become her beauty without flaw, desire without depth. Restless, she descends to the mortal world in search of something real.

There she finds Adonis, a hunter whose beauty is matched only by his strength of spirit. He does not fall at her feet. He does not beg for her touch. Instead, he meets her with caution, with quiet fire, with a passion that sees her not as goddess, but as woman.

Their love blooms fierce and tender, rooted in reverence and hunger. But in a world where gods are jealous and beauty cannot be unguarded, passion is always shadowed by peril. Blood stains the meadow where they lie together, and Aphrodite must descend into the realm of death itself to beg for the life of the man who has undone her.

Steamy, lush, and darkly romantic, Of Blood and Bloom is the second novella in Cleo Callaway’s Mythic Passions series—an epic of gods and mortals, desire and destiny, for fans of scorching romance and myth retellings that aren’t afraid of the shadows
