Dark Desires at Dawn — Stephanie Julian

The Barbarian and the Goddess... TessaI was born the Etruscan Goddess of the Dawn, worshipped by an entire civilization. At least, I used to be. Now my powers are weakening, and I've been targeted by a malicious god who wants to consume my remaining magic. I need a hero and fast...preferably one who's good in bed because sexual energy boosts my magic. Apparently Caligo, a Cimmerian barbarian whose sexual prowess is legendary, is my man. Or he will be, when I can convince him to protect me. CaligoYeah, I'm a fabled Cimmerian warrior (don't ever call me Conan), and for years, I sold my skills to the highest bidder. But I will never get involved in the affairs of deities again. Been there, done that, still pissed about it. But there's something irresistible about Tessa, something I can't ignore. She needs me. And I don't just mean for protection. Tessa and Cal are on the run from the God of the Underworld, and Cal is Tessa's only chance to escape the encroaching darkness...
